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

microset,
then
use
the
graphs
to
investigate
the
percentage
of
snow

This lesson is designed to help students gain knowledge in graphing a microset of data, then using the graphs to investigate the relationship between volcanic activity and the presence of atmospheric aerosols. The lesson provides detailed procedure, related links and sample graphs, follow-up questions and extensions, and Teacher Notes.

This activity is designed to teach students about the different classes of clouds, as well as how they are classified. Students will learn about classification by performing their own classification of clouds based on information given them by instructors. Students will also use infrared ATP images to study clouds by height, temperature, and appearance.

This interactive tour of the water cycle allows students to follow a water molecule from a home's plumbing system as it follows different routes through the hydrologic cycle. Students learn about how water is used, treated, and returned to the natural environment where it can cycle through liquid, solid, and gas phases.

Students participate in two interactive exercises designed to help the user learn about river processes like discharge, flooding, and flood frequency. Each activity requires a person to make careful observations and measurements, do simple calculations, and answer questions about his or her work. A Certificate of Completion is available for printing at the end of each activity.

Water
is
one
of
Earth's
most
unique
and
valuable
resources.
Thus,
the
distribution
of
water
on
Earth
is
a
very
important
factor
in
the
evaluation
of
global
climate
and
its
impact
on
life.
In
this
lesson,
students
will
use
historical
satellite
data
to
examine
precipitable
water
--
a
measure
of
the
water
available
in
the
atmosphere
from
evaporation
(in
the
form
of
water
vapor).
They
will
then
compare

The
atmosphere
is
a
mixture
of
gases
including
nitrogen,
oxygen,
carbon
dioxide
and
other
trace
gases.
Additionally,
the
atmosphere
contains
small,
suspended
liquid
and
particle
matter
called
aerosols.
Aerosols
come
from
various
sources,
both
natural
and
anthropogenic
(man-made).
Aerosols
are
important
to
study
and
monitor
because
they
have
direct
and
indirect
effects
on
regional
weather
and
global

Students
will
make
predictions
by
linking
current
scientific
satellite
data
to
concerns
about
global
climate
change.
Using
maps
of
sea
surface
temperature
(SST)
and
ocean
surface
winds,
students
will
learn
how
differential
heating
of
Earth
results
in
circulation
patterns
in
the
atmosphere
and
oceans
that
globally
distribute
the
heat.
Students
will

between

One
of
the
strongest
observed
ENSO
events
of
the
century
began
to
unfold
in
1997.
Fortunately,
an
extensive
network
of
satellite
and
ocean
buoy
instruments
was
prepared
to
monitor
and
record
the
historical
event.
In
this
lesson,
students
will
collect
data
from
the
MY
NASA
DATA
Live
Access
Server
to
understand
how
scientists
detect
the
onset
of
El
Nino
conditions
and
the
reversal
to
La
Nina
conditions
