Learners will explore the causes and effects of space weather and how NASA studies it.
Learners will explore differences between weather on Earth and space weather and the hazards of each.
In this activity, learners predict the likelihood of aurora on Earth by examining the Kp-index and using NOAA’s 30-minute aurora forecast.
Students watch a video and answer questions on Dr. Patrick Taylor (Atmospheric Scientist, NASA Langley Research Center) as he discusses the study of clouds and Earth's energy budget by analyzing data from Low Earth Orbit satellites.
Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
Students watch a NOVA PBS video about the different effects of clouds on climate and Earth's energy budget. Then they answer questions and brainstorm to complete a flow chart of events that might occur if the percentage of absorbing clouds increases.
Students will analyze a graph showing the amounts of peak energy received at local noon each day over the year changes with different latitudes.
