Students analyze the stability and change of sea level after watching a visualization of sea level height around the world.
The extreme temperatures during July 2022 prompt students to investigate a model that displays historical heat wave frequency data to discover the importance of defining terms when interpreting data.
Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations.
Students evaluate graphs and images of sea ice and relate them to changes in albedo. Students make a claim about the interaction of albedo and sea ice extent.
Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.
Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.
Students will analyze and interpret maps of the average net atmospheric radiation to compare the flow of energy from the Sun toward Earth in different months and for cloudy versus clear days. Students will draw conclusions and support them with evidence.
In this mini lesson, students explore the relationship of chlorophyll and solar radiation by analyzing line graphs from the North Atlantic during 2016-2018.
NASA visualizers take data – numbers, codes – and turn them into animations people can see and quickly understand.
