Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.
In this activity students will compare different methods for observing the Sun’s corona and make predictions about what they will observe during the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse.
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 interactive you will create space weather forecast maps for solar minimum and solar maximum.
The purpose of this activity is to have students use an Earth Systems perspective to identify the various causes associated with changes to Earth's forests as they review Landsat imagery of site locations from around the world.
This mini lesson focuses on Landsat satellite data and how it is used to detect changes in land use. Students will answer questions based off of a NASA Video that features how Landsat data are interpreted in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, and gives examples of the effects insects and logging have with land management.
This StoryMap allows students to explore the urban heat island effect using land surface temperature and vegetation data in a 5 E-learning cycle. Students investigate the processes that create differences in surface temperatures, as well as how human activities have led to the creation of urban heat islands.
Learners will explore the causes and effects of space weather and how NASA studies it.
