What you will learn?
This is the content training video for the Exploring the Solar System: Story Blocks activity in the Explore Science: Earth & Space 2020 toolkit.
Story Blocks is a creative, open-ended collaborative storytelling activity. The goal of this activity is to allow for conversation and play while also guiding children and caregivers to develop a strong story about science and exploration. By telling a story, children will learn that astronauts visited the Moon in the past; they’ll also explore the idea that NASA plans to go back to the Moon to make even more discoveries. The young learners will also do a little bit of what scientists do by considering new ideas and asking questions about the unknown.
This is the ACTIVITY training video for Investigating Clouds, a hands-on activity from the 2017 & 2020 Explore Science: Earth and Space toolkit:
OBJECTIVES
BIG IDEA
NASA studies clouds to learn more about Earth's changing climate. We can study clouds both from the ground and by using space-based instruments.
LEARNING GOALS
Clouds influence Earth’s weather and climate.
Clouds form when individual water molecules combine into droplets.
NASA researchers study clouds in order to better understand and predict how Earth’s climate is changing.
Particular to the information sheet, worksheet, and Globe postcard: Citizen science programs collect and share the data with researchers that collaborate with NASA.
