Students will watch and examine a NASA animation of Earth’s rising surface temperatures over an almost 150 year period.
Several heat domes have occurred over the last few summers and around the world. This lesson provides one example from 2021 in Portland, Oregon, with temperature and ozone data.
Students review Earth System phenomena that are affected by soil moisture. They analyze and evaluate maps of seasonal global surface air temperature and soil moisture data from NASA satellites. Building from their observations, students will select a location in the U.S.
Students analyze surface air temperature anomalies to identify change with respect to different latitudes across the world.
Students will examine air temperature data collected through The GLOBE Program during the 2017 US solar eclipse.
NASA visualizers take data – numbers, codes – and turn them into animations people can see and quickly understand.
The extreme temperatures during July 2022 prompt students to investigate a model that displays historical heat wave frequency data to discover the importance of defining terms when interpreting data.
Information from satellites if often used to display information about objects. This information can include how things appear, as well as their contents. Explore how pixel data sequences can be used to create an image and interpret it.
