This interactive takes students through the basic mechanics of a solar eclipse, using a NASA Space Place Handout, including an optional eclipse art activity.
Students model Earth's tectonic plate movement and explore the relationship between these movements and different types of volcanoes.
Check out the Arctic and Earth SIGNs video to explore how climate models are used in climate change research.
The Solar Eclipse Implementation Sequence provides a series of lesson plans for students to learn about solar eclipses.
This learning activity uses data acquired by the TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter, a joint project of NASA and the French Space Agency, to investigate the relationship between the topography of a sea-floor feature and the topography of the overlying sea surface.
Students analyze the relationship between sea surface height and ocean surface currents by graphing sea height using satellite data. Note: This lesson is modified from NASA's TOPEX/Poseidon lesson plan.
In this lesson students will calculate the size to distance ratio of the Sun and the Moon from Earth to determine how a solar eclipse can occur.
Students will describe the changes in a newly-formed volcanic island over the first three years of its life.
Students will use the NASA Earth Observations analysis tool to explore changing albedo in the Arctic compared with other areas of Earth.
