Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.
Students observe the map image, individually, looking for changes in surface air temperatures (using data displayed, unit of measure, range of values, etc.) and noticeable patterns.
This mini lesson engages students in writing a commentary for a NASA video regarding changes in global temperatures from 1880 to 2017.
Students analyze a graph that illustrates the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures.
Several heat domes have occurred over the last few summers and around the world. This lesson provides one example from 2021 in Portland, Oregon, with temperature and ozone data.
Examine (daytime) surface temperature and solar radiation received at locations found near similar latitudes using NASA Data.
Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.
Students observe the surface temperatures of a variety of surface types found in a suburban environment.
Students move through a series of short activities to explore and evaluate global solar radiation data from NASA satellites. In this process, students make qualitative and quantitative observations about seasonal variations in net energy input to the Earth System.
