Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.

Examine (daytime) surface temperature and solar radiation received at locations found near similar latitudes using NASA Data.

Students will watch and examine a NASA animation of Earth’s rising surface temperatures over an almost 150 year period.

My NASA Data has recently released several new resources, StoryMaps, for use in educational settings.

Students review Earth System phenomena that are affected by soil moisture.  They analyze and evaluate maps of seasonal global surface air temperature and soil moisture data from NASA satellites. Building from their observations, students will select a location in the U.S.
