This hands-on activity is the construction of an extended coverage area of eclipse glasses to provide extra protection for safely viewing a solar eclipse. This makes it harder to look outside the lenses on the eclipse glasses.
In this activity, students will model the geometry of solar eclipses using quarters to represent the Sun and Moon (not to scale).
In this activity students will examine NASA data to determine the differences between a solar and lunar eclipse.
In this activity students will learn several ways to safely observe a solar eclipse.
This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.
This video provides tips for teachers on helping students make sense of data to help them understand and work with data. It is based on the work of Kristin Hunter-Thomson of Dataspire.org and uses data from the My NASA Data Earth System Data Explorer.
Interpret the map, or model, to find patterns in the occurrence of tropical cyclones from 1842 through 2018.
My NASA Data has recently released several new resources, StoryMaps, for use in educational settings.
Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.
