Background on changing albedo values.

GLOBE protocols and learning activities that complement the El Niño Southern Oscillation phenomenon through hands-on investigations are detailed.

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

Earth is a system of systems.

In this activity, students explore the Urban Heat Island Effect phenomenon by collecting temperatures of different materials with respect to their locations.  

GLOBE protocols and learning activities that complement the Ocean Circulation Patterns phenomenon through hands-on investigations are detailed. These protocols can be used to build a basis for understanding the principles of salinity and water temperature which are drivers of the ocean circulation patterns.

In this activity, learners predict the likelihood of aurora on Earth by examining the Kp-index and using NOAA’s 30-minute aurora forecast.

NASA visualizers take data – numbers, codes – and turn them into animations people can see and quickly understand.

Argumentation is an important practice whereas the scientist develops explanations using evidence and reasoning to explain observed phenomena.
