Satellite Images- Night Time
Fourth graders study the geography and population distribution of various places on earth. They utilize actual satellite images of the night sky (lights showing heavily around area of dense population) to study and make observations...
Curated OER
Satellite Tracker
Students use satellite tracking software to monitor different satellites. They predict and graph the motion of the space station. They create a 3-D display of its path and share it with the class.
Curated OER
Annotating Change in Satellite Images
Young scholars compare a series of satellite images taken 3-4 years apart to investigate the effects of human land use. They annotate the images using ImageJ software and use the annotated images to explain their findings.
Curated OER
Satellite Maps
Students examine contemporary satellite and digital maps. They explore new mapping technologies have transformed the field of cartography. At the same time and analyze how mapmakers' 'interests' are still present in digital maps.
