In this activity, students will model the geometry of solar eclipses by plotting a few points on a piece of graph paper, and using quarters and a nickel to represent the Sun and Moon (not to scale).
In this activity, students will model the geometry of solar eclipses using quarters to represent the Sun and Moon (not to scale).
In this lesson students will explore the Solar Orbiter Mission.
In this activity students will examine NASA data to determine the differences between a solar and lunar eclipse.
In this activity learners examine the difference between aurora and airglow, while learning about NASA’s ICON Mission.
Learners will analyze space-weather data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Learners will compare two different types of data: sunspot data and measurements from magnetometers on Earth.
In this activity, learners predict the likelihood of aurora on Earth by examining the Kp-index and using NOAA’s 30-minute aurora forecast.
In this mini-lesson activity, students use art to demonstrate their knowledge of an aurora.
Use art to demonstrate your knowledge of aurora!
