The activities in this guide will help students understand variations in environmental parameters by examining connections among different phenomena measured on local, regional and global scales.
The Earth System Satellite Images help students observe and analyze global Earth and environmental data, understand the relationship among different environmental variables, and explore how the data change seasonally and over longer timescales.
NASA visualizers take data – numbers, codes – and turn them into animations people can see and quickly understand.
Teachers, are you looking for resources to help you engage students in data analysis related to the Urban Heat Island in North America?
Check out the images featuring two science variables related to Urban Heat Islands: Monthly Surface Air Temperature (degrees Celsius) & Monthly Daytime Skin Temperature (degrees Celsius).
Find GLOBE resources which are connected to My NASA Data pedosphere (geosphere) phenomena. These include campaigns, eTraining and how to find related student projects.
This mini lesson focuses on Landsat satellite data and how it is used to detect changes in land use. Students will answer questions based off of a NASA Video that features how Landsat data are interpreted in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, and gives examples of the effects insects and logging have with land management.
Discover how GLOBE supports hands-on science for locally relevant learning which is also put into a global perspective.
Explore the energy and matter cycles found within the Earth System.
This mini-lesson guides students' observations of soil moisture anomalies (how much the moisture content was above or below the norm) for the continental US in May 2018.
