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. 

In this lesson, students will explore the effect of aerosols on sky color and visibility by using an interactive virtual model. 

Students will describe how the spread of COVID-19 is affected by population density and explain why patterns in the spread of COVID-19 are happening over time. 

Learners will build a 2D model of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Spacecraft model. 

Learners will explore differences between weather on Earth and space weather and the hazards of each.

In this activity, learners predict the likelihood of aurora on Earth by examining the Kp-index and using NOAA’s 30-minute aurora forecast.

In this interactive you will create space weather forecast maps for solar minimum and solar maximum.

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

Using various visualizations (i.e., images, charts, and graphs), students will explore the energy exchange that occurs when hurricanes extract heat energy from the ocean. This StoryMap is intended to be used with students who have access to the internet in a 1:1 or 1:2 setting. 

Learners will explore the causes and effects of space weather and how NASA studies it.
