Students track weather over time and create a bar chart to track their data. 

Students analyze diagrams showing the effects of clouds on Earth’s Radiation and answer the questions that follow. This mini lesson is designed to help students analyze the interaction between clouds and Earth's incoming and outgoing energy. 

In this 5E’s lesson, students observe maps that show smoke and AOD levels surrounding Fresno, California at the time when the 2020 Creek Fire was burning. Students construct a claim that identifies a relationship between fire-related data and air quality data.

Students move through a series of short activities to explore and evaluate global solar radiation data from NASA satellites.  In this process, students make qualitative and quantitative observations about seasonal variations in net energy input to the Earth System.

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

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

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