Students use global temperature data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends.

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

Students use advanced algebra concepts to determine the next opportunity to launch a spacecraft to Mars.

In this activity, students will use sea-level rise data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends. They will then determine whether sea-level rise is occurring based on the data.

This lesson uses stacking cubes as a way to graph precipitation data, comparing the precipitation averages and seasonal patterns for several locations.

Students learn to read, interpret and compare “heat map” representations of Earth science data.
