Students observe the map image, individually, looking for changes in surface air temperatures (using data displayed, unit of measure, range of values, etc.) and noticeable patterns.

Using hourly graphs of PM 2.5 data and HYSPLIT model trajectories, students will collect evidence for the effects of fireworks on air quality.
Interpret the map, or model, to find patterns in the occurrence of tropical cyclones from 1842 through 2018.
Learn about volcanic ash and watch a visualization of the Calbuco volcano to see how ash travels around the world.
Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.
Students review Earth System phenomena that are affected by soil moisture. They analyze and evaluate maps of seasonal global surface air temperature and soil moisture data from NASA satellites. Building from their observations, students will select a location in the U.S.
This Lesson Plan provides maps, graphs, and data tables for use with the Data Literacy Cubes. Because it is a differentiated resource, it is appropriate for multiple grade bands.
Learners will analyze and interpret a box plot and evaluate the spread of the data. Learners will compare it with a different visualization of the data to see how the two compare, discuss the limitations of the two types of data displays and formulate questions.
Students analyze the data and details of a complicated graph by identifying components and data patterns.
Students analyze surface air temperature anomalies to identify change with respect to different latitudes across the world.
