students
gain
knowledge
in
using
the
MY
NASA
DATA
Live
Access
Server

to
specify

a
microset

then
to
use
the
data
to
investigate
tropospheric
ozone
for
several
US
cities.
Using
the
LAS,
student-groups
will
create
line-plots
of
tropospheric
ozone
for
a
particular
date
and
city.
From
that
information
they
will
investigate
possible
trends
in

In
this
lesson,
students
download
cloud
coverage
and
surface
data
from
the
NASA
CERES
S-COOL
website
student
observation
database,
then
use
the
Excel

activity,
students
learn
about
atmospheric
carbon
dioxide
and
its
role
in
the
greenhouse
effect.
They
can
identify

producers
of
carbon
dioxide
emissions
and
read
about
the
global
climate
conference
that
was
held
in
Kyoto,
Japan,
in

to
set
international
limits
on

This
PDF
document
discusses
a
field
activity
for
K-12
students.
The
purpose
of
the
activity
is
to
observe
type
and
cover
of
clouds
including
contrails.
Students
will
observe
ten
types
of
clouds
and
how
many
of
three
types
of
contrails
are
visible,
how
much
of
the
sky
is
covered
with
clouds,
and
how
much
is
covered
by
contrails.

summer,
and
compare
its

users
quantify
the
