Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.

Explore and connect to the GLOBE Air Quality protocol bundle. 

Students will describe the changes in a newly-formed volcanic island over the first three years of its life.  

Examine the images to see the projected differences in land use between 1900 and 2100. 

Learn about volcanic ash and watch a visualization of the Calbuco volcano to see how ash travels around the world. 

Students model Earth's tectonic plate movement and explore the relationship between these movements and different types of volcanoes.

Students examine satellite images of an island before and after a volcanic eruption to determine the impact of the eruption.

In this 5E’s lesson, students observe maps that show smoke and AOD levels surrounding Fresno, California at the time when the 2020 Creek Fire was burning. Students construct a claim that identifies a relationship between fire-related data and air quality data.
