In this interactive, students will learn the basics of space weather by engaging in a short interactive which introduces key terms: space weather, sunspot, solar flare, coronal mass ejection, and solar wind. Students will be able to identify the causes and hazards of space weather.
In this activity, learners will explore an additional tool used to observe the Sun’s atmosphere, called a coronagraph. Learners will create a flipbook of a coronagraph showing a coronal mass ejection.
Students will examine air temperature data collected through The GLOBE Program during the 2017 US solar eclipse.
Learners will build a 2D model of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Spacecraft model.
