Students examine satellite images of an island before and after a volcanic eruption to determine the impact of the eruption.

Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.

Examine the images to see the projected differences in land use between 1900 and 2100. 

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

In this mini-lesson, students analyze soil moisture quantities associated with Hurricane Harvey around Houston, Texas on August 25, 2017.

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

This mini lesson provides a video on an ultra-high-resolution NASA computer model of how carbon dioxide in the atmosphere travels around the globe. Students will review the video and answer the following questions.

Students watch a visualization video and answer questions on the potential of increasing megadroughts in the southwest and central United States from 1950-2095 using models created by soil moisture data.
