Take a look at climate change from another angle. Readers learn about the MISR instrument on the Terra satellite and how it studies Earth. Pupils experience how the multiple cameras give scientists multiple views so they can better study how particles are distributed within the atmosphere. Within activities, learners mimic the multiple views of the cameras while looking at an object.
