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

Students review a video showing a global view of the top-of-atmosphere shortwave radiation from January 26 and 27, 2012 and answer the questions that follow.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

In this activity, students use satellite images from the NASA Landsat team to quantify changes in glacier cover over time from 1986 to 2018.
