Students identify patterns in chlorophyll concentration data to formulate their explanations of phytoplankton distribution. 

The Earth System Satellite Images help students observe and analyze global Earth and environmental data, understand the relationship among different environmental variables, and explore how the data change seasonally and over longer timescales.  

Compare images from two volcanic eruptions in the Kuril Islands which occurred ten years apart and complete a graphic organizer for impacts on different Earth spheres. 

In this activity, students will model the geometry of solar eclipses using quarters to represent the Sun and Moon (not to scale).

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 graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.

Students use Phytopia: Exploration of the Marine Ecosystem, a computer-based tool, to investigate various phytoplankton species and topics relating to phytoplankton biology. 

Students examine satellite images of a recently formed island to identify areas of erosion and deposition.

Students identify patterns and describe the relationship between chlorophyll concentration and incoming shortwave radiation.
