This
lesson
is
designed
to
help
students
gain
knowledge
in
using
the
MY
NASA
DATA
Live
Access
Server
(LAS)
to
specify
and
download
a
microset
of
data,
then
to
use
the
data
to
create
graphs
comparing
the
amount
(percentage)
of
snow
cover
along
selected
latitudes.
Students
will
make
graphs
from
the
data
microset,
then
use
the
graphs
to
investigate
the
percentage
of
snow
cover
by
latitude.
