In
this
lesson,
students
will
examine
a
historical
Category
5
hurricane,
Hurricane
Rita,
that
crossed
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
during
September
18-24,
2005.
First,
they
will
use
the
MY
NASA
DATA
Live
Access
Server
to
obtain
sea
surface
temperature
(SST)
data
maps
of
the
Gulf
of
Mexico.
Then,
they
will
construct
a
time
series
of
SST
data
(line

for
a
location
within
the
path
of
the
hurricane
where

In
this
lesson
students
will
build
on
knowledge
gained
in
the
Hurricane
Research
lesson
and
the
Hurricane
Frequency
and
Intensity
Lesson.
Specifically,
they
will
discuss
the
interaction
(pathway)
between
a
specific
'sphere'
and
the
'event'
(hurricane).
Working
in
groups,
students
will
be
assigned
a
specific
sphere
to
look
at
more
closely
in
relation
to
hurricanes.
When
all
groups
are
finished,

In this lesson, students will examine authentic NASA satellite data to explore how hurricanes extract heat energy from the ocean surface. They will practice finding data via the Internet and make line plots and data maps. Students will understand how hurricanes gain energy from the ocean surface. They will form a hypothesis, compare data parameters and draw conclusions.

In
this
lesson,
students
will
play
the
role
of
a
senior
science
advisor
for
the
Louisiana
Environmental
Agency.
Due
to
the
recent
damaging
and
deadly
hurricanes
during
2005
(i.e.,
Hurricane
Katrina)
through
2008,
they,
along
with
their
team
of
climatologists,
meteorologists,
and
environmental
impact
experts,
have
been
tasked
to
study
the
danger
of
future
tropical
storms.
Specifically,
they
will

In
recent
years
more
and
more
attention
has
been
paid
to
the
Earth's
climate
and
how
it
is
evolving.
When
studying
hurricanes
it
is
important
to
understand
that,
for
a
hurricane
to
grow,
warm
water
is
an
absolute
necessity.
So
if
the
Earth
continues
to
warm,
what
does
that
mean
for
hurricanes
and
their
intensity?
In
this
lesson,
the
student
will
look
at
past
hurricane
data
by
researching
the
intensity

In this lesson, students will assume the role of a Department of Forestry Ranger one of whose major concerns is forest fires. Using NASA Surface Scene Type data (biomes) and Monthly Equivalent Water Thickness Land Mass Change Data from 2006, the students will determine areas at high risk for forest fire development.
