Welcome to the K-12 Data Portal. In an effort to connect teachers to real scientific data, the education team at CReSIS has developed the K-12 Data Portal. This website offers to educators both data collected by CReSIS and by the broader scientific community.
What data can be found on this page?
CReSIS Data: Coming Soon! This page will contain radar data collected and processed at CReSIS.
Climate Data: Here is a collection of climatological data that can be used in countless ways in the science classroom. Data on this page includes global surface temperatures, atmospheric carbon dioxide cocentrations, solar irradiance values, and sea level rise scenarios. Also found on this page are links to other sources for climate data.
Snow and Ice Data: A large amount of data on snow and ice around the globe can be found on the inernet. Some links can be found here with ideas on how to use the data in the classroom.
Where can I go to learn more about graphing with Microsoft Excel?
Microsoft Excel is a widely available spreadsheet software can be used in the classroom to graph scientific data. Much of the data found in the K-12 Data Portal can be downloaded in Microsoft Excel. For those less experienced with this software, here are a couple of resources to guide you through graphing with Microsoft Excel.
