Examine (daytime) surface temperature and solar radiation received at locations found near similar latitudes using NASA Data.

Meet Jim Crawford, lead project scientist in atmospheric chemistry from NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. 

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

NASA Worldview is a free online visualization tool that is a great launchpad for learners who are new (or veteran) users of satellite data.

Students analyze Landsat images of Atlanta, Georgia to explore the relationship between surface temperature and vegetation.

Explore and connect to the GLOBE Urban protocol bundle. 

To investigate the different rates of heating and cooling of certain materials on earth in order to understand the heating dynamics that take place in the Earth’s atmosphere.
