Interpret a scatter plot to find patterns in the number of tropical cyclones from 1842 to 2018.

Students will analyze a graph showing the amounts of peak energy received at local noon each day over the year changes with different latitudes. 

The purpose of this lesson is for students to compare data displays to determine which best answers the driving question. To do this they will evaluate the spread of the data and what the displays show. 

Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.

Use the Earth System Data Explorer to analyze data and make a claim about which 2018 eruption was larger, Kilauea, HI or Ambae Island, Vanuatu.

In this activity, students will analyze past and future eclipse data and orbital models to determine why we don’t experience eclipses every month.

Students will analyze surface temperature and solar radiation data to construct explanations about the relationship of seasons and temperature to the amount of solar energy received on Earth’s surface.

For over 20 years, satellite instruments have measured the sea surface height of our ever-changing oceans.  This video of images shows the complicated patterns of rising and falling ocean levels across the globe from 1993 to 2015.

Compare a histogram and map to determine the differences in the information conveyed in each data display.

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