This
lesson
is
designed
to
help
students
gain
knowledge
in
using
the
MY
NASA
DATA
Live
Access
Server
(LAS)
to
specify
and
download
a
microset
of
data,
then
to
use
the
data
to
investigate
the
carbon
monoxide
level
at
a
fixed
latitude.
Using
the
LAS,
students
will
download
data,
and
then
will
use
Excel
to
create
maps
of
the
carbon
monoxide
level
for
a
particular
latitude.
They
will
then
look
for

In
this
lesson,
students
download
cloud
coverage
and
surface
data
from
the
NASA
CERES
S-COOL
website
student
observation
database,
then
use
the
Excel
spreadsheet
program
to
develop
plots
of
the
data.
Students
explore
the
relationship
between
cloud
coverage
and
humidity
for
low-,
mid-,
and
high-level
clouds.

This
unit,
designed
to
span
two
class
periods,
helps
students
understand
that
physical
factors,
particularly
temperature
and
precipitation,
limit
the
growth
of
plant
ecosystems.
The
activity
begins
with
a
discussion
in
which
students
develop
their
own
ideas
about
the
role
of
temperature,
precipitation,
and
environment
on
plant
growth.
They
will
then
examine
X-Y
graphs
of
vegetation
growth,
temperature,
