In this activity, students will use sea-level rise data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends. They will then determine whether sea-level rise is occurring based on the data.

This Lesson Plan provides some generic maps, graphs, and data tables for use with the Data Literacy Cube. Because this is a differentiated resource, it is appropriate for multiple grade bands.
In this activity, students will model the geometry of solar eclipses by plotting a few points on a piece of graph paper, and using quarters and a nickel to represent the Sun and Moon (not to scale).
In this activity, students will model the geometry of solar eclipses using quarters to represent the Sun and Moon (not to scale).
Students examine the two time series images to determine the differences between seasonal ice melt over water versus land.
What is sea-level rise and how does it affect us? This "Teachable Moment" looks at the science behind sea-level rise and offers lessons and tools for teaching students about this important climate topic.
Students will watch a video on the Greenland Ice Sheet and answer questions.
In this activity, students will analyze past and future eclipse data and orbital models to determine why we don’t experience eclipses every month.
My NASA Data has recently released several new resources, StoryMaps, for use in educational settings.
This activity invites students to model and observe the effect of melting ice sheets (from land) on sea level and the difference between the effect of melting sea-ice to that of melting land ice on sea level.
