Using hourly graphs of PM 2.5 data and HYSPLIT model trajectories, students will collect evidence for the effects of fireworks on air quality.
Find GLOBE resources which are connected to My NASA Data atmosphere phenomena. These include campaigns, eTraining, pacing guides, and how to find related student projects.
Students examine satellite images of an island before and after a volcanic eruption to determine the impact of the eruption.
Follow this link to access GLOBE protocols and hands-on learning activities that complement the Hurricane Dynamics phenomenon.
Review this page to learn about the background of volcanoes and their eruptions.
Students model Earth's tectonic plate movement and explore the relationship between these movements and different types of volcanoes.
Students use scale to determine the area of volcanic deposits following the March 3, 2015 eruption of Chile's Mount Villarrica stratovolcano, one of the country's most active volcanoes.
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.
Students will analyze surface temperature and solar radiation data to construct explanations about the relationship of seasons and temperature to the amount of solar energy received on Earth’s surface.
