The
purpose
of
this
lesson
is
to
use
NASA
CERES
instrument
cloud
data
and
a
weather
map
to
explore
cloud
coverage
during
a
winter
storm.
Students
will
map
locations
using
latitude
and
longitude
coordinates
as
well
as
use
a
microset
of
satellite
data
to
investigate
cloud
characteristics
by
applying
percentage
to
determine
cloud
cover.

The
purpose
of
this
lesson
is
to
use
CERES
radiation
data
to
understand
seasonal
variations
in
the
pattern
of
net
energy
input
to
the
Earth
system.
The
students
will
begin
to
understand
how
Earth's
tilt
causes
seasonal
differences
in
incoming
solar
energy.
They
will
use
the
Live
Access
Server
to
investigate
the
Earth's
radiation
budget
and
map
locations
using
latitude
and
longitude
coordinates.

This
lesson
uses
NASA
satellite
data
to
contrast
amounts
of
cloud
coverage
over
different
climate
regions
in
Africa.
An
an
outcome
of
the
lesson,
the
student
will
be
able
to
explain
how
Earth's
major
air
circulations
affect
global
weather
patterns
and
relate
local
weather
patterns
to
climate
as
well
as
identify
different

is
an
online
multidisciplinary
project
which
utilizes
both
real
time
data
and
primary

materials
to
help
guide
students
to
discover
the
science
and
history
of
the
Gulf
Stream.
Students
investigate
the
driving
forces
behind
this
ocean
current,
how
it
affects
the
Atlantic
Ocean
and
some
of
mankind's
experiences
dealing
with
it.

The
purpose
of
this
activity
is
to
introduce
students
to
visualizations
as
a
tool
for
scientific
problem-solving,
using
elevation
and
temperature
as
an
example.
Students
color
in
visualizations
of
elevation
and
temperature
so
that
important
patterns
in
the
data
become
evident.
The
relationship
between
the
two
quantities
is
studied
by
using
them
to
compute
the
lapse

Davis
soil
moisture
and

station.
Soil
moisture
and

sensors
are
installed
at
multiple

and
a
station
is
set
up
to
measure
and
record
measurements
at
15
minute
intervals.
These
measurements
are
transferred
to
your

computer
and
then
submitted
to

resource
is
to

students
mix
the

with
water
and
a
dispersing
solution
to
completely
separate
the
particles
from
each
other.
Students
shake
