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

Students watch the video Frozen Earth and answer the following questions that discuss how ice helps moderate the planet's temperature using NASA satellites.

Students will analyze a graph showing the variation of energy imbalance on Earth over the year along different latitudinal zones and answer the questions that follow.

Compare images from two volcanic eruptions in the Kuril Islands which occurred ten years apart and complete a graphic organizer for impacts on different Earth spheres. 

Students analyze the stability and change of sea level after watching a visualization of sea level height around the world. 

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

This mini-lesson guides students' observations of soil moisture anomalies (how much the moisture content was above or below the norm) for the continental US in May 2018.

This hands-on activity uses the kitchen sink to model the properties of the boundary of the heliosphere and takes learners through the scientific processes used in investigations: Making observations, using models, and communicating results.

Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.

Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.
