Experiments
Below are interactive experiments that can be used to teach all ages about the art and science of space-based remote sensing. The experiments focus on how NASA uses remote sensing to study how and why the Earth changes.
Global Warming
The Earth's average temperature rose by more than half a degree Celsius over the last century. What caused this change? Join NASA's Earth Observatory Team in an investigation into the causes of global warming.
Mission: Biomes
The following two activities are designed for teachers to use in classrooms as supplementary, interdisciplinary units. Mission: Biomes is especially appropriate for grades 3 through 8, and is designed to be interactive and self-correcting which will allow each student to work at his or her own pace.
Great Graph Match
Geo Grapher needs your help to match temperature and precipitation graphs for different locations to the biomes where they belong
To Plant or Not to Plant?
Travel with Bill Botanist on an expedition to each of the world's biomes. Help him study his plant specimens and choose the best possible biome to plant each one in.
