Satellite imaging is the collection and interpretation of real time data and images from "state of art" technology for the study of our environment and weather. A satellite dish is used to receive images from the European Space Agency's geostationery satellite. "Real time" images are received from the U.S. NOAA and Russian polar orbiting satellites.
Participant collect "ground truth" data to help them understand and interpret remotely sensed data and images.
Mathematics, geography, language arts, communications, and other skills are integrated and assessed in the performance of authentic tasks.
Students in grade 6 participate in a satellite imaging unit as part of their science curriculum.
