Students will describe the changes in a newly-formed volcanic island over the first three years of its life.  

Students observe the surface temperatures of a variety of surface types found in a suburban environment.

Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.

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 lesson contains a card sort activity that challenges students to predict relative albedo values of common surfaces. 

Students review a visualization showing a global view of the top-of-atmosphere longwave radiation from January 26 and 27, 2012. They review the supporting text and analyze the data in the visualization to answer questions.

Students review a video showing a global view of the top-of-atmosphere shortwave radiation from January 26 and 27, 2012 and answer the questions that follow.

Students interpret a graph of surface temperatures taken from city districts and other types of communities.

Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.

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