This hands-on activity uses the kitchen sink to model the properties of the boundary of the heliosphere and takes learners through the scientific processes used in investigations: Making observations, using models, and communicating results.

In this activity learners examine the difference between aurora and airglow, while learning about NASA’s ICON Mission.

In this activity students will compare different methods for observing the Sun’s corona and make predictions about what they will observe during the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse.

Use art to demonstrate your knowledge of aurora!

In this mini-lesson activity, students use art to demonstrate their knowledge of an aurora. 

My NASA Data has recently released several new resources, StoryMaps, for use in educational settings.

Learners will analyze space-weather data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Learners will compare two different types of data: sunspot data and measurements from magnetometers on Earth.

In this lesson students will explore the Solar Orbiter Mission. 

In this activity, learners predict the likelihood of aurora on Earth by examining the Kp-index and using NOAA’s 30-minute aurora forecast.

Learners will build a 2D model of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Spacecraft model.
