Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.

Students interpret a double bar/column chart comparing the number of tropical cyclones in different locations.

Students will analyze images and data from a variety of NASA sensors and satellites depicting the wildfires of northern Canada to understand the state of the atmosphere at the time. Then they will answer a series of questions. 

Students observe how air quality changes over time, for a selected location, using data from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

This mini lesson engages students with answering questions on cause and effect relationships by watching a NASA video related to changing forests in the Pacific Northwest from 1984 to 2011.

Students explore the spatial patterns observed in meteorological data and learn how this information is used to predict weather and understand climate behavior.

Students review a video that models the global impact of smoke from fires to develop an understanding of how models can be used to interpret and forecast phenomena in the Earth System. 

Students identify and classify kinds of land cover (such as vegetation, urban areas, water, and bare soil) in Landsat satellite images of Phoenix, Arizona taken in 1984 and 2018.

Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.

This NASA visualization shows sea surface salinity observations (September 2011-September 2014). Students review the video and answer questions.
