Students move through a series of short activities to explore and evaluate global solar radiation data from NASA satellites.  In this process, students make qualitative and quantitative observations about seasonal variations in net energy input to the Earth System.

Students will analyze surface temperature and solar radiation data to construct explanations about the relationship of seasons and temperature to the amount of solar energy received on Earth’s surface.

This resource helps to identify and access GLOBE protocols and hands-on learning activities that complement the Air Quality phenomenon.

Explore and connect to the GLOBE Urban protocol bundle. 

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

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