This mini lesson helps students visualize how the Hydrosphere and Cryosphere interact to produce changes in land and sea ice. 

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

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

Review this page to learn about the background of volcanoes and their eruptions.

Students will examine air temperature data collected through The GLOBE Program during the 2017 US solar eclipse.

In this activity students will make observations about the objects, size, distance, and motion of the Sun, Earth, and Moon during a solar eclipse.

Students observe how air quality changes over time, for a selected location, using data from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Students analyze surface air temperature anomalies to identify change with respect to different latitudes across the world.

In this activity students will compare different methods for observing the Sun’s corona and make predictions about what they will observe during the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse.

Students will analyze a projected map of the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse across the US, with an accompanying data table of the locations and times, to explain how people in different locations experience a solar eclipse.
