Each activity, or chapter, introduces one or more data sets and an analysis tool that enables users to explore some aspect of the Earth system. Step-by-step instructions in each chapter walk users through an example — a case study in which they access data and use analysis tools to explore issues or concepts in Earth system science. In the course of completing a chapter, users produce and analyze maps, graphs, images, or other data products. The ultimate goal of each activity is to build user's skills and confidence so they can use data to conduct their own investigations of the Earth system. pdboyer Fri, 28 Jan 2011 03:21:26 GMT http://www.google.com/help/features.html A cool page with lots of ways to search directly for stuff like weather, conversions, spelling, movie showtimes, restaurants, public data, etc., etc., etc. pdboyer Wed, 12 May 2010 01:57:48 GMT http://curriculalessons.suite101.com/article.cfm/7_real_time_data_online_science_investigations Students learn how to conduct science investigations in the same manner as scientists, as they learn to analyze sets of online real time data to solve problems. Using real time data for developing quantitative literacy in project-based learning science activities focuses on students’ ability to use critical thinking and mathematical reasoning skills to draw sound conclusions during science investigations. While quantitative skills are used heavily in math and science, it is not exclusive to either content area. It is a necessary skill used for decision-making and an ability to understand data by applying numerical insight into experimental findings. pdboyer Sat, 24 Apr 2010 17:49:34 GMT http://www.census.gov/ US Census Bureau with the data to top all data.

Our goal is to design easy-to-use curriculum activities and simple, intuitive computer interfaces for accessing online data. It's all part of a NOAA-supported effort called the NODE Project. 5 levels of modules. Encourages looking for patterns and associations. pdboyer Thu, 03 Feb 2011 00:23:59 GMT http://www.mbari.org/earth/ What is EARTH? EARTH uses near-real-time data from ocean observatories to design and test outreach with the Internet as an interface to scientists, teachers, students, and the public. pdboyer Thu, 03 Feb 2011 03:05:58 GMT http://climate.jpl.nasa.gov/SeaLevelViewer/seaLevelViewer.cfm Use of satellite ocean height data to understand Hurricane Katrina, La Nina, El Nino. Taller regions may be warmer regions. This also has implications for global warming/climate change forecasting.

Scientists still do not have a good understanding of why this is so. Through large-scale sampling, scientists can identify areas that differ in the intensity of invasion and try to understand why these differences exist. We can also compare this to variation in the native range. This may be crucial to researching new methods of control, but a large project like this could cost millions of dollars and years of work.
