Students will examine air temperature data collected through The GLOBE Program during the 2017 US solar eclipse.

Students examine satellite images of a recently formed island to identify areas of erosion and deposition.

Students will analyze a projected map of the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse across the US, with an accompanying data table of the locations and times, to explain how people in different locations experience a solar eclipse.  

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

Compare images from two volcanic eruptions in the Kuril Islands which occurred ten years apart and complete a graphic organizer for impacts on different Earth spheres. 

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

In this activity students will examine NASA data to determine the differences between a solar and lunar eclipse.

Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.

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

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.
