In this NASA-JPL lesson, students create a model of a volcano, produce and record lava flows, and interpret geologic history through volcano formation and excavation. 

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.

The purpose of this activity is to have students use an Earth Systems perspective to identify the various causes associated with changes to Earth's forests as they review Landsat imagery of site locations from around the world.

Students interpret a graph of surface temperatures taken from city districts and other types of communities.

Examine the images to see the projected differences in land use between 1900 and 2100. 

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