Students observe the surface temperatures of a variety of surface types found in a suburban environment.

The purpose of this activity is for students to create a desktop soil profile based on the biome region of the United States where your school is located.

Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.

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

Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.

Students will review the NASA Space Place video, "Tectonic Forces", and answer questions about tectonic plates.

In this mini lesson, students use in-water profiles of historical ocean data to analyze how sea surface salinity varies with depth. 

Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.

Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.

Students examine the two time series images to determine the differences between seasonal ice melt over water versus land.
