This activity will help students better understand and practice estimating percent cloud cover.

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

For over 20 years, satellite instruments have measured the sea surface height of our ever-changing oceans.  This video of images shows the complicated patterns of rising and falling ocean levels across the globe from 1993 to 2015.

This mini lesson provides a video on an ultra-high-resolution NASA computer model of how carbon dioxide in the atmosphere travels around the globe. Students will review the video and answer the following questions.

This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.

This lesson uses the National Park Service StoryMap which displays national parks around the contiguous United States and their standard exceedance ozone concentrations from 2016-2021. Students will explore ozone levels and answer questions.

Students observe monthly images of changing vegetation patterns, looking for seasonal changes occurring throughout 2017. These data can be used by students to develop their own models of change.
