NASA visualizers take data – numbers, codes – and turn them into animations people can see and quickly understand.

This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.

This digital GLOBE Earth system (digital) poster images show global visualizations of different science variables for 2019, 2018, 2016, and 2013.  Students may use these images to find patterns among different environmental data, understand the relationships among different environmental parameters, and more. 

This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models. Building from an original GLOBE lesson, this resource features Google Slide and Jamboard to assist in both face-to-face and virtual learning.

Learners follow adventurous camper, Awenasa, as she travels the United States and attends various camp locations throughout the year.  Learners analyze data to find her location among the various campsites using monthly averaged NASA satellite data (Cloud Coverage, S

Students will analyze a pie chart (circle graph) showing the distribution of different parts of the Earth system the in absorption and reflection of energy. 

This lesson is designed to help students analyze the interaction between different cloud types and Earth's incoming and outgoing energy. 

Dr. Patrick Taylor (Atmospheric Scientist, NASA Langley Research Center) discusses how he studies clouds and Earth's energy budget by analyzing data from Low Earth Orbit satellites. He also discusses the different effects of clouds on the energy budget.
