Students will examine air temperature data collected through The GLOBE Program during the 2017 US solar eclipse.

Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.

Examine (daytime) surface temperature and solar radiation received at locations found near similar latitudes using NASA Data.

Students will analyze surface temperature and solar radiation data to construct explanations about the relationship of seasons and temperature to the amount of solar energy received on Earth’s surface.

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 mini lesson focuses on the 2015-2016 El Niño event and how its weather conditions triggered regional disease outbreaks throughout the world. Students will review a NASA article and watch the associated video to use as a tool to compare with maps related to 2015-2016 rainfall and elevated disease risk, and answer the questions.

Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.

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

Use the AirNow.gov website to determine current air quality in US locations, as well as other information.

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