Tracking World Aerosol Hazards
Category: For Educators, Lesson Plans, Media, and Collaborative Research
Resource Type: PDF
Date Posted: 01/08/2008

This lesson plan investigation allows students to see how geography and a spatial perspective are useful in addressing global challenges. Data gathering and organization skills are emphasized as students create maps of global aerosol hazards. In small groups, students collect either long-term or short-term data showing the distribution of global aerosols and convert the data into a map. Groups then compare their maps to identify patterns and sources of aerosols around the world. The investigation offers options for students with and without direct access to the web. Time required: Three 45-minute sessions. [Source: NASA Mission Geography] Grade level: 5-8.
