ACTIVITY 1

SPACE STATION EXPLORERS PARTNER PROGRAM:

SALLY RIDE EARTHKAM

  • You control the camera in this unique Earth observation experiment onboard the ISS!
  • EarthKAM provides standards-based, grade-appropriate lesson plans that educators can easily incorporate into their classroom activities, from writing to geography.

LESSON

Analyzing Astronaut’s Photos to Predict Climate Change from Microsoft Education
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. But how do scientists use those pictures to make predictions about climate change? In this activity, students will examine images taken from space and make inferences and draw conclusions about “what will come next” for our planet.
