My NASA Data has recently released several new resources, StoryMaps, for use in educational settings.
The Earth System Satellite Images, along with the Data Literacy Cubes, helps the learner identify patterns in a specific image.
Find GLOBE protocols and learning activities that complement exploration of solar eclipses.
The Solar Eclipse Implementation Sequence provides a series of lesson plans for students to learn about solar eclipses.
In this activity, students will compare the methods scientists use to study the Sun, including drawings made during a total solar eclipse in the 1860’s, modern coronagraphs, and advanced imagery gathered by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.
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 analyze past and future eclipse data and orbital models to determine why we don’t experience eclipses every month.
In this activity students will learn several ways to safely observe a solar eclipse.
