Aruba Cloud Cover Measured by Satellite

How much rain can that cloud make? Through a simulation, the class estimates the amount of candy rain contained in different cup clouds. After probing the clouds using different methods, class members adjust their estimates. Participants...

Students explore what keeps satellite in orbit around the Earth. In this physical science lesson, students explain how satellites work and their uses in scientific study. They use Google Earth to navigate to different places.

Students analyze cloud cover and to compose written conclusions to a given related scenario. They submit a letter of response and a report detailing their calculations and conclusions.

Students analyze cloud cover over Aruba. They compose and submit written conclusions which include data, analysis, errors in data collection, and references.

Students use NASA satellite data to see cloud cover over Africa.  For this seasons lesson students access data and import it into Excel. 

Students explore the formation of clouds and different cloud types. Students simulate a cloud formation within a bottle.

Young scientists explore climate change by taking a look at many different disciplines. They hear from scientists who study soil, clouds, ice cores, ocean temperatures, and more. Then, they search public databases to draw their own...

Students use NASA satellite data to correlate cloud cover over Africa to the solar declination.

Learners explore satellite data and graphing. In this weather data analysis math and science lesson, students analyze NASA satellite data to draw conclusions about geographical areas where precipitation might have happened. Learners...

Students view a cloud slide show presentation and identify types of clouds. They estimate height based on cloud's appearance. They discuss the vague nature of cloud nomenclature and compare it to the English standard measurement system.
