Lesson Plan: Water for Wheaties?

NASA Science reports a new K‑12 lesson plan titled “Water for Wheaties?” that shows how NASA satellites monitor freshwater resources to support agriculture. The curriculum lets teachers introduce topics like the atmosphere, ecosystems, habitable zones and photosynthesis, and it aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards for Earth’s Systems. Students can work with real data from the Aqua satellite to see how life on Earth responds to solar conditions, with credit given to the Global Precipitation Mission. The full resource is available for download on NASA’s website.
