Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations. 

In this activity, students explore three indicators of drought are: soil moisture, lack of precipitation, and decreased streamflows. Students investigate each of these parameters develop a sense for the effects of drought on land.

This Lesson Plan provides maps, graphs, and data tables for use with the Data Literacy Cubes. Because it is a differentiated resource, it is appropriate for multiple grade bands. 

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

Students model Earth's tectonic plate movement and explore the relationship between these movements and different types of volcanoes.

Students develop and test a hypothesis about how albedo affects temperature.

Air quality is a measure of the pollution level in the air. Polluted air can be caused by many things. There are manmade and natural sources of emissions. 

In this 5Es lesson, students will uncover how changes in global air quality have impacted human health in cities between 2000 and 2019.
