My NASA Data has recently released several new resources, StoryMaps, for use in educational settings.
This lesson introduces the Earth system science spheres through model making and discussion.
Through guided inquiry, students will identify interactions of the four major scientific spheres on Earth: biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere. They will then identify how these systems are represented and interact in their classroom aquarium.
This activity introduces students to aspects of the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and litho/geosphere and how they are interrelated. It is designed to promote an interest in authentic investigations of Earth using images acquired by astronauts as the hook.
Our Earth is a dynamic system with diverse subsystems that interact in complex ways. Questions that scientists have about the Earth as a System may include the following. As you learn more about the Earth System, reflect on these questions.
This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.
NASA visualizers take data – numbers, codes – and turn them into animations people can see and quickly understand.
Earth is a system of systems.
Students will analyze a pie chart (circle graph) showing the distribution of different parts of the Earth system's absorption and reflection of energy.
