Students are able to download, install, and use Image J image analysis software to quantify change over time in satellite images. They access and download satellite images for specific locations and times. Students set a scale (spatial...

Students 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.

How can a robot measure the length of something when we don't know how far the camera is from the object? The lesson explains the concept of perspective and many others. Scholars apply this knowledge to judge the length of fish and the...

Students explore the changes in sea ice over several years. For this life science lesson, students review and examine 20 years of data. They use Excel to graph data and analyze trends.

How do robots assist ocean explorers in collecting data and images? The final installment in a five-part series has science scholars examine underwater images collected by robots and identify the organisms shown. Groups then calculate...

In this learning module, students will examine images of Brazil's Amazon rainforests that were captured by satellites between 1994-1996, to observe and measure the impact of deforestation over time. A download of a public domain software...

This lesson helps students select, explore, and analyze satellite imagery. Students investigate the relationship between atmospheric carbon monoxide and aerosols. Incorporate ImageJ to animate a year of monthly images of aerosol data and...

This lesson introduces students to visualization capabilities available through NASA's Earth Observatory, global map collection, NASA NEO and ImageJ. Students build several animations of satellite data that illustrate carbon pathways...

This lesson helps students investigate satellite images displaying land surface temperature, snow cover, and reflected shortwave radiation data.
