Interpret a scatter plot to find patterns in the number of tropical cyclones from 1842 to 2018.

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

Students analyze two North Pole orthographic data visualizations produced from soil moisture data. After describing trends in the seasonal thaw of land surfaces, students demonstrate their understanding of Earth’s energy budget by explaining relationships and make predictions about the dataset.

Explore using units for calculations with Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). NDVI is a ratio of different light wavelength reflectance which can be used to map the density of green vegetation.

In this mini-lesson activity, students use art to demonstrate their knowledge of an aurora. 

Carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere is affected by many processes including fires, deforestation, and plant respiration. Students will evaluate a Landsat image to determine the rate of carbon dioxide sequestration in a particular area.

Students will analyze a line graph that shows how the surface temperature and air temperature values change over the course of 24 hours.

In this activity learners examine the difference between aurora and airglow, while learning about NASA’s ICON Mission.

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

Use art to demonstrate your knowledge of aurora!
