Through their interactive website and educational outreach efforts, NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies brings many of their research findings to the general public. In this particular learning module, educators and students will get the chance to learn about how a planet’s climate is determined. The primary aim of the module is “for students to develop a scientific view that our environment is a system of human and natural processes that result in changes over various space and time scales.” Educators are most welcome to download the entire set of teacher notes, student activities, and data sets for their use. Each section may also be downloaded individually as well, and visitors would do well to read the thorough introduction.
