This mini lesson engages students by watching a NASA video related to seasonal chlorophyll concentration as it relates to net radiation using NASA's Aqua satellite. Students will examine the model and answer the questions.

Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations. 

In this mini-lesson, students analyze soil moisture quantities associated with Hurricane Harvey around Houston, Texas on August 25, 2017.

This mini lesson engages students by watching a NASA video related to plant growth activity around the world using data from the NASA/NOAA Suomi NPP satellite and answering questions on these stability and change relationships.

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

Students watch the video Frozen Earth and answer the following questions that discuss how ice helps moderate the planet's temperature using NASA satellites.

Students connect day/night and seasonal cycles with albedo in the Arctic region. 

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

Arctic sea ice is the cap of frozen seawater blanketing most of the Arctic Ocean and neighboring seas in wintertime. It follows seasonal patterns of thickening and melting. Students view how the quantity has changed from 1979 through 2018. 

Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.
