NOAA website
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) maintains an online area for educational resources. These resources may be useful for math teachers interested in addressing topics such as graphic literacy and data and statistics using the context of earth science.
Collections within the resource area include subtopics like Weather & Atmosphere and Climate, among others. In turn, each subtopic offers links to documents, images and other online resources that may be valuable to teachers.
Heat Wave, a sample contextualized climate change lesson that draws from NOAA resources can be downloaded from the SABES Math Curriculum Resource page. The following NOAA resources may be of interest to teachers who plan to use the Heat Wave lesson:
- JetStream: An Online School for Weather
- 2017 Hurricanes and Aerosols Simulation video
- Data in the Classroom: Investigating El Niño (includes Teacher’s Guide, Supplemental PowerPoint, Student Activity Sheets, Science Standards)
