Students observe the process and results of transpiration from a plant in their schoolyard.

Students use a spreadsheet model to understand droughts and the movement of water in the water cycle.

Using real data from NASA’s GRACE satellites, students will track water mass changes in the U.S.

Students use satellite data to help determine the greatest renewable energy potentials in any given region and develop graphing skills.

Students make predictions and observations about how ice will melt in different conditions then compare their predictions to results as they make connections to melting glaciers.

In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to detect frost in lunar craters, determine the density of Mars' liquid core, calculate the powered output from a dam, and find out how far a spacecraft travels as it returns data to Earth.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to determine the water output of a dam to assess its potential environmental impact.

What is sea-level rise and how does it affect us? This "Teachable Moment" looks at the science behind sea-level rise and offers lessons and tools for teaching students about this important climate topic.

Students learn the difference between land ice and sea ice and make a model to see how the melting of each impacts global sea level.
