Ciese Real Time Data Projects: Musical Plates: A Study of Earthquakes

How does the scientific process begin? Introduce ecology scholars to scientific inquiry through an insightful, data-driven lesson. Partners examine data from an ongoing research study to determine the questions it answers. The resource...

Evaluate global temperature anomalies using real-world data from NASA! Climatologists analyze a data set using a literacy cube and differentiated question sheets. Team members evaluate global temperature anomaly data with basic...

Use real-time data to study factors that affect weather and climate, create weather instruments, and share data with learners around the world.

This activity has students access USGS earthquake information to plot the their locations on a world map. Doing this will help students discover for themselves the boundaries of tectonic plates.

Four part lab activity involves students using real-time data to solve a problem, study the correlation between earthquakes and tectonic plates, and determine whether or not there is a relationship between volcanoes and plate boundaries.

The activities in this comprehensive weather unit are designed for Grade 6 and up. Students will use real time data from around the world to conduct an investigation about weather and climate.

How does particulate pollution affect people with breathing disorders? Real time air quality data is provided for you to assess your state. Using this data you can determine who might be at risk in your particular area.

Using NASA's Live Access Server, earth scientists compare the temperature, precipitation, and normalized difference vegetation index for four different locations. They use the data to identify the climate zone of each location using...

Collect and analyze real time ozone data to make determinations about the status of ozone in your local area. See if you can apply what you learn to make predictions about tomorrow's ozone levels.

In this Science project, students use real time data on the Internet to study tsunamis and what causes them. They will look at videos of real tsunamis such as the 2004 one in Southeast Asia. They will then devise a safety plan and a...
