Students analyze surface air temperature anomalies to identify change with respect to different latitudes across the world.

Students will review the NASA Space Place video, "Tectonic Forces", and answer questions about tectonic plates.

Students learn how to estimate the "energy efficiency" of photosynthesis, or the amount of energy that plants absorb for any given location on Earth. This is the ratio of the amount of energy stored to the amount of light energy absorbed and is used to evaluate and model photosynthesis efficiency.

Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.

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

Use the AirNow.gov website to determine current air quality in US locations, as well as other information.

In this activity students will compare different methods for observing the Sun’s corona and make predictions about what they will observe during the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse.

Students watch a video introducing the concept of albedo and answer questions.

This mini lesson engages students by watching a NASA video related to seasonal chlorophyll concentration as it relates to net radiation using NASA's Aqua satellite. Students will examine the model and answer the questions.

Students watch a video explaining albedo and its impact on Earth. The video shows visualizations of albedo across Earth and how it can change. Students will interpret the images in the video and answer questions about albedo.
