Explore the energy and matter cycles found within the Earth System. 

Earth is a system of systems.

Chemists study atomic and molecular structures and their interactions. 

This page explains the purpose of mini lessons in My NASA Data and how they can be incorporated into instruction and support learning.

Students will analyze a pie chart (circle graph) showing the distribution of different parts of the Earth system's absorption and reflection of energy. 

The My NASA Data visualization tool, Earth System Data Explorer (ESDE), helps learners visualize complex Earth System data sets over space and time. Visit this page to review the datasets we have available to you and their organization by Earth System sphere, science variable, dataset name, and start/end dates.

This page explains the purpose of lesson plans in My NASA Data and how they can be incorporated into instruction and support learning.

Earth is made up of five major parts or subsystems: the Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere, Cryosphere, and Geosphere. Each major part is connected to the other parts in a complex web of processes.
