Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.

Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.

Students review a video that models the global impact of smoke from fires to develop an understanding of how models can be used to interpret and forecast phenomena in the Earth System. 

Students review a visualization showing a global view of the top-of-atmosphere longwave radiation from January 26 and 27, 2012. They review the supporting text and analyze the data in the visualization to answer questions.

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