Deformation Zone Analysis
No full textThe quick analysis of deformation zones provides an overview of system-relative atmospheric circulations. Since deformation is a primary factor in frontogenesis and frontolysis, understanding of these system-relative circulations is crucial to the diagnosis of atmospheric processes and weather prediction. Educational levels: Graduate or professional
Ocean Motion
No full textThis Web site offers a review of the surface circulation of Earth's ocean and classroom investigations appropriate for various disciplines at the high school level. Articles and video interviews about ocean current research, interactive data visualizes, news articles, simplified models, teacher and student guides are included. This site highlights use on-line satellite data of Earth for understanding patterns of ocean surface currents and how they relate to human exploration, commerce, science, weather/climate, and pollution. The interdisciplinary investigations included are classroom-ready, aiming to help high school students practice science, mathematics and writing skills in accordance to national standards. The topics covered also align with the traditional high school curriculum. Each investigation is keyed to the stages of the 5 E's teacher/learning model. Educational levels: High school, Graduate or professional
Diverse Galaxies Lithograph
Get PDFThis Hubble Space Telescope image shows the diversity of galaxies in the universe. A huge elliptical galaxy, designated ESO 325-G004, dominates the image. In addition to many elliptical and spiral galaxies, the image contains a few small irregular galaxies, and red, yellow, and blue foreground stars. The accompanying classroom activity is a current support tool designed for use as an introductory inquiry activity. It can be incorporated into a unit that has a scientific inquiry and/or a galaxy classification theme. During the classroom activity, In Search of ...Galaxy Types, students use the lithograph images and text to generate questions about the diverse collection of galaxies on the front of the lithograph. They conduct research to answer their questions, identify patterns, and/or compare and contrast galaxy characteristics, depending on the teacher’s objectives. Students will organize their material and present a report, providing supporting evidence from their research. Educational levels: Middle school, High school
