Today is the Day for a Trip on Google Earth

 Google Earth delivers great resources for your science curriculum Click this link to learn how scientists visualize and communicate the phenomena they study. Google Earth displays the migration patterns of endangered and other threatened animals, based on data collected by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation.

Google Earth offers anyone the opportunity to take geographical data and turn it into a “layer.” Scientists are doing this in real-world lab scenarios. You can track what scientists see in storms, the paths of solar eclipses , volcano activity, arctic ice melting, bird flu mutations and biomaps of emotional stress levels in different cities (see this Popular Science article for more info).

Since these are all KML files, they could be downloaded with less space needed than United Streaming and also made into layers on the regular Google Maps as well.
