This mini lesson focuses on Landsat satellite data and how it is used to detect changes in land use. Students will answer questions based off of a NASA Video that features how Landsat data are interpreted in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, and gives examples of the effects insects and logging have with land management.
Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations.
Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.
In this activity students will make observations about the objects, size, distance, and motion of the Sun, Earth, and Moon during a solar eclipse.
Students watch a video and answer questions on Dr. Patrick Taylor (Atmospheric Scientist, NASA Langley Research Center) as he discusses the study of clouds and Earth's energy budget by analyzing data from Low Earth Orbit satellites.
Students will examine air temperature data collected through The GLOBE Program during the 2017 US solar eclipse.
Students examine satellite images of an island before and after a volcanic eruption to determine the impact of the eruption.
In this activity students will examine NASA data to determine the differences between a solar and lunar eclipse.
