These set of lesson plans use real NASA data to help students understand how ozone can be both "good up high and bad nearby." Students will explore how scientists use data to describe the atmosphere. Students will practice graphing skills to analyze human impacts on ozone concentrations on the ground and high in the atmosphere.

This will introduce students to the use of color maps to visualize data about stratospheric ozone.

In this activity, you will select the scientific instruments for your satellite, calculate the power requirements for all the subsystems, and construct a scale model of your very own Earth observing satellite.

Lessons that integrate inquiry with active-learning experiences to engage students in the properties of electromagnetic energy and remote sensing. The investigations are sequenced to help the learner construct their knowledge about the electromagnetic spectrum while offering real world examples from NASA. Created in collaboration with littleBits™ with companion activities available online

Construct a scale model of your very own Earth observing satellite

Introduces electromagnetic waves, their behaviors, and how scientists visualize these data.

These set of lesson plans use real NASA data to help students understand how ozone can be both "good up high and bad nearby." Students will explore how scientists use data to describe the atmosphere. Students will practice graphing skills to analyze human impacts on ozone concentrations on the ground and high in the atmosphere.

Scientists use colors and other representations for data to help interpret and visualize information. In this activity, students create their own color map and discover that selecting a good color scale is essential to understanding data and to communicating science accurately.
