Exploring salinity patterns is a great way to better understand the relationships between the water cycle, ocean circulation, and climate. In this mini lesson, students analyze sea surface salinity mapped plots created from the Earth System Data Explorer, paired with questions (and answers) from the Aquarius Mission.

This mini lesson engages students by watching a NASA video related to seasonal chlorophyll concentration as it relates to net radiation using NASA's Aqua satellite. Students will examine the model and answer the questions.
Students analyze four data visualizations focused on the topic of sea level. They use a jigsaw method to explore and communicate their findings to their peers.
Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.
Compare a histogram and map to determine the differences in the information conveyed in each data display.
This NASA visualization shows sea surface salinity observations (September 2011-September 2014). Students review the video and answer questions.
