Lesson Plans/Activities | Grades K-5 | This hands-on activity provides a template for elementary students to pack a virtual backpack for an aurora viewing trip, making it highly useful for geography and weather units. Educators can integrate this tool into their science curricula to explore concepts related to Earth’s atmosphere, magnetic fields, and solar wind. By mapping out essential items for a northern lights observation, students learn how the active Sun impacts Earth via space weather. This resource can be paired with lessons on energy or matter to fulfill Next Generation Science Standards.
