Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.

Students examine satellite images of an island before and after a volcanic eruption to determine the impact of the eruption.

Students model Earth's tectonic plate movement and explore the relationship between these movements and different types of volcanoes.

Students examine satellite images of a recently formed island to identify areas of erosion and deposition.

Compare pictures of different volcanoes. Then visit NASA's Space Place to learn about volcanoes and answer questions about volcanic eruptions.

Students will review the NASA Space Place video, "Tectonic Forces", and answer questions about tectonic plates.

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. 

My NASA Data has recently released several new resources, StoryMaps, for use in educational settings.

Students watch videos and/or review articles related to particulate matter and how this pollutant is monitored and measured, then provide their understanding individually or in groups.

In addition to the changes brought about by natural forces, it has recently become apparent that a relative newcomer to planet Earth — the human being — has become a powerful agent of environmental change.
