TOMS Lesson #1: The Sky is Falling? - This activity is designed to serve as a way for students to interact with the latest real-time ozone data on the web. The lesson will access data from the TOMS
webpage (Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer; a satellite instrument used to measure ozone levels) to study real-time local and global ozone amounts, and
variations.

TOMS Lesson #2: The Missing Link - This lesson uses with the web to show students how a scientist takes data from a TOMS instrument to see if it is reasonable. Scientists use a variety of
instruments in order to measure an item of their interest. Validation of the data is almost as important as the data itself. The student will investigate how
"missing" data is acquired.

TOMS Lesson #3: Going in Circles - Satellites are very useful instruments in space. Although scientists use satellites for a wide variety of studies in space, students need to understand that they
have many other uses, too. This lesson will provide students with an idea of the number of satellites in space and how they orbit, as well as the usefulness of
satellites and how a student will be able to observe them at night.

TOMS Ozone independent research project #2 (teacher copy) - The student will be able to:
1) explain how TOMS instruments can be used to detect aerosols,and
2) analyze TOMS aerosol data to conclude how particles move in the troposphere

TOMS Ozone independent research project #3 (teacher copy) - The student will be able to: 1) analyze TOMS ozone data to determine how the ozone hole changes, and 2) critically analyze TOMS ozone data to determine if the ozone hole over Antarctica is getting worse.

TOMS Ozone independent research project #4 (teacher copy) - The student will be able to: 1) construct a graph of ozone data, and 2) analyze available data to infer how different parts of the globe experience different magnitudes of ozone variability and trends.

TOMS Ozone independent research project #5 (teacher copy) - The student will be able to: 1) use TOMS ozone data to determine how ozone varies: in specific regions of the Earth WITHIN one seasonal cycle; in specific regions over the long-term; and slightly with different satellite instrumentation
