We work with academic institutions, museums and science centers, and partners from K-12 to develop materials that support teachers and students. These efforts support broader national initiatives to improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.
Lesson Plans
Grades 6 and above:
These lessons plans show educators and students how use real scientific data to explore some of Earth's dynamic processes and understand the impact of environmental events on a regional or global scale.
Teach with a World of Data from NOAA View
This online educational tool offers a one-stop shop for breath-taking satellite imagery and engaging data products designed to give users a better understanding of the environmental and weather phenomena that shape our planet.
