Students will review the NASA Space Place video, "Tectonic Forces", and answer questions about tectonic plates.
Students will use coloring sheets to create a color coded model of El Niño and analyze it. If the Data Literacy Map Cube is used with this, students will color their models first.
In this activity students will examine NASA data to determine the differences between a solar and lunar eclipse.
Use the Data Literacy Cube to guide students’ exploration of mapped data of the Earth System to enrich their observations and inferences. This is a flexible resource that may be used with a variety of mapped images. This activity requires a map of Earth data for students to evalu
Students watch a short video to gather information about sources of methane emissions and then extend their understanding of these sources to evaluate monthly trends in the Alaska region, ultimately making connections to Earth’s energy budget.
Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.
Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.
Students watch videos and review articles related to ozone as a pollutant at ground level, and how ozone impacts environment, then provide their understanding in groups.
Compare pictures of different volcanoes. Then visit NASA's Space Place to learn about volcanoes and answer questions about volcanic eruptions.
