Students analyze the data and details of a complicated graph by identifying components and data patterns.

Students watch a video explaining albedo and its impact on Earth. The video shows visualizations of albedo across Earth and how it can change. Students will interpret the images in the video and answer questions about albedo.

Students review a video showing how the ocean is warmed by solar energy. This is the first video of a four-part series on the water cycle, which follows the journey of water from the ocean to the atmosphere, to the land, and back again to the ocean.

Students examine satellite images of an island before and after a volcanic eruption to determine the impact of the eruption.

Worldview is a valuable resource in understanding information about the atmosphere. Learn how to access models in order to answer your own questions.

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 connect day/night and seasonal cycles with albedo in the Arctic region. 

This mini lesson engages students in writing a commentary for a NASA video regarding changes in global temperatures from 1880 to 2017. 

Read about Dr. Valerie L. Thomas and her contributions to the Landsat program. Since her Landsat days, Thomas, who later invented and patented the Illusion Transmitter, has actively supported women in STEM. Today, she is still teaching and participating in hands-on STEM programs.

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