Students observe the map image, individually, looking for changes in surface air temperatures (using data displayed, unit of measure, range of values, etc.) and noticeable patterns.

This mini lesson engages students in writing a commentary for a NASA video regarding changes in global temperatures from 1880 to 2017. 

By investigating the data presented in a model that displays extreme summer air temperatures, students explain energy transfer in the Earth system and consider the impact of excessive heat on local communities.

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.

In this 5Es lesson, students will uncover how changes in global air quality have impacted human health in cities between 2000 and 2019.

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.
