This Lesson Plan provides maps, graphs, and data tables for use with the Data Literacy Cubes. Because it is a differentiated resource, it is appropriate for multiple grade bands. 

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

In this mini-lesson, students analyze soil moisture quantities associated with Hurricane Harvey around Houston, Texas on August 25, 2017.

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

Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.

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

Conduct this modified EO Kids mini-lesson with your students to explore the phenomenon of Urban Heat Island Effect.

Students will analyze a graph showing the amounts of peak energy received at local noon each day over the year changes with different latitudes. 

Compare a histogram and map to determine the differences in the information conveyed in each data display.

Interpret a scatter plot to find patterns in the number of tropical cyclones from 1842 to 2018.
