IMAGERS - Unit II : Remote Sensing

          Students begin their study of remote sensing in Lesson 1 - What are we looking at? Students are introduced to different perspectives of viewing the Earth and their uses. This activity leads them to seeing the Earth from a satellite perspective. Before actually looking at satellite imagery, students learn about satellites and their components by building a satellite model in Lesson 2 - What are Satellites? In Lesson 3, students begin to interpret satellite imagery in the Adventure of Echo the Bat. They model how satellites transmit data in Lesson 4 - How do Satellites Work? In Lesson 5 - Interpreting Satellite Images, students study images and identify land features.
