Math Standards for Investigating Seasonal Variability in NO2 Concentrations
No full textThis resource supports math standards for grades 8-10 in the topic of representation. These assignments are based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards.
Virginia Standards for Validation of Stratospheric Ozone
No full textThis resource supports earth science standards for grades 9-12. This assignment is based on the Virginia Standards of Learning ES.2a: The student will demonstrate scientific reasoning and logic by analyzing how science explains and predicts the interactions and dynamics of complex Earth systems. ES.12: The student will investigate and understand the origin and evolution of the atmosphere and the interrelationship of geologic processes, biologic processes, and human activities on its composition and dynamics.
Virginia Standards for Does cloud type affect rainfall?
No full textThis resource supports Virginia Earth science standards. ES.2a: The student will demonstrate scientific reasoning and logic by analyzing how science explains and predicts the interactions and dynamics of complex Earth systems. ES.2c: The student will demonstrate scientific reasoning and logic by comparing different scientific explanations for a set of observations about the Earth. ES.13a: The student will investigate and understand that energy transfer between the sun and the Earth and its atmosphere drives weather and climate on Earth. Key concepts include observation and collection of weather data.
Math Standards for The Fabled Maine Winter
No full textThis resource supports math standards for grades 9-10 in the topics of data analysis and probability. These assignments are based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards.
Virginia Standards for Ocean Impacts of an El Nino Event
No full textThis resource supports earth science standards for grades 9-12. This assignment is based on the Virginia Standards of Learning ES.2a: The student will demonstrate scientific reasoning and logic by analyzing how science explains and predicts the interactions and dynamics of complex Earth systems. ES.11c: The student will investigate and understand that oceans are complex, interactive physical, chemical, and biological systems and are subject to long- and short-term variations. Key concepts include systems interactions (density differences, energy transfer, weather, and climate).

Virtual Globes: NSIDC Data on Google Earth
No full textThe National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) has made a select set of images viewable through the popular interactive desktop application, Google Earth. Users can choose from a set of data-based images (KMZ and KML files) and display them on a virtual globe. Featured datasets include changes in glaciers, the Larsen B ice shelf, and Arctic sea ice extent from 1979-2006, breakup of the Larsen B ice shelf in 2002, and a gallery of more than 3000 images of glaciers, from the 1880s-present. There are also datasets of permafrost and ground ice, sea ice extents from 1979-2006, yesterday's sea ice and snow, and Antarctic images and data sets from the Antarctic Glaciological Data Center (AGDC). Educational levels: Middle school, High school, Undergraduate lower division, Undergraduate upper division, Graduate or professional
Teaching Tip on 'Fundamentals of Physical Geography'
No full textI learned a lot from this site.Currently I would like to teach my men something about the atmosphere and what's going on while the aircraft is ascending in altitude.
Teaching Tip on 'Radiation Balance'
No full textThis simulation is a useful visualization of temperature changes with altitude, between day and night, and over a variety of surfaces. Although not as widely applicable as the MtnSim activity, it is an excellent activity to use early on in the semester when students still struggle with what causes temperature to change without going into complex explanations of the physics behind it. Students are simulating the data collection process and this is very useful for non-science majors.
