This activity invites students to simulate and observe the different effects on sea level from melting sea-ice.
This lesson contains a card sort activity that challenges students to predict relative albedo values of common surfaces.
This activity invites students to model and observe the effect of melting ice sheets (from land) on sea level and the difference between the effect of melting sea-ice to that of melting land ice on sea level.
Compare images from two volcanic eruptions in the Kuril Islands which occurred ten years apart and complete a graphic organizer for impacts on different Earth spheres.
In this activity students will examine NASA data to determine the differences between a solar and lunar eclipse.
This activity is designed to introduce students to geologic processes on Earth and how to identify geologic features in images. It will also introduce students to how scientists use Earth to gain a better understanding of other planetary bodies in the solar system.
In this activity, students will model the geometry of solar eclipses using quarters to represent the Sun and Moon (not to scale).
The Earth System Satellite Images, along with the Data Literacy Cubes, helps the learner identify patterns in a specific image.
The Earth System Satellite, help the learner visualize how different Earth system variables change over time. In this lesson, students will graph six points for a location over one year.
