We pass along this information from the NSTA website:
In Big Data, Small Devices: Investigating the Natural World Using Real-Time Data (2017), authors Donna Governor, Michael Bowen, and Eric Brunsell offer more than two dozen investigations focused on using rich datasets available online. Each activity includes teacher notes that provide information for three-dimensional learning (disciplinary core ideas [DCIs], science and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts), as well as background and technology information, an explanation of the data, and suggestions for scaling the lesson up or down.
Activities are grouped into chapters by the sphere of Earth they investigate: atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and celestial sphere. These are tied directly to the DCIs that are connected to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
