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

Compare pictures of different volcanoes. Then visit NASA's Space Place to learn about volcanoes and answer questions about volcanic eruptions.

Students explore the spatial patterns observed in meteorological data and learn how this information is used to predict weather and understand climate behavior.

Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.

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

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

Students analyze the stability and change of sea level after watching a visualization of sea level height around the world. 

This NASA visualization shows sea surface salinity observations (September 2011-September 2014). Students review the video and answer questions.

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

Students review a visualization showing a global view of the top-of-atmosphere longwave radiation from January 26 and 27, 2012. They review the supporting text and analyze the data in the visualization to answer questions.
