<p>This resource is a set of <strong>information packs, worksheets and a presentations on the topic of Satellite Earth Observation</strong> complete with slides. The target audience for this resource is learners ages 10-14.</p> <p>This interdisciplinary resource was originally developed by SatSchool using current research and development from global scientific communities. It is an adaption of the online Introduction to Earth Observation Module, available on the SatSchool Web Page.</p> <p>These resources provide foundational knowledge for understanding the way we can use technology to produce digital imaging, and introduce the history of satellite developments leading up to current technology. Learners are encouraged to ask questions, engage with scientific developments and consider the role of real-world scientists in understanding the Earth and Space.</p> <p>Earth observation explores the use of satellites and other technology used to measure Earth from space. This resource introduces this through booklets covering four key sections:</p> <ol> <li>Overview</li> <li>Satellites and Orbits</li> <li>Satellite Sensors</li> <li>Image Resolution</li> </ol> <p>Also included is an introductory overview presentation and two activity worksheets.</p> <p>Where two versions of a document are included, one version is an editable version ( e.g. Word document) and the other is the best format for viewing/printing (PDF). All the resources are contained in a compressed folder in the download pack. The pack also contains a selection of images used only to provide preview images on the tes webpage.</p> <p>Relevant learning outcomes: SCN 3-08a, SCN 3-11b, SCN 3-20, SOC 3-14a, SOC 3-08a</p> <p>This resource is an adaption of the Earth Observation module on the SatSchool Website, created as part of the SatSchool Outreach Course.

<p>This interdisciplinary resource is developed by SatSchool using current research and development from global scientific communities.</p> <p>The packs are structured by key ideas and includes prompts or questions and activities throughout the document, to encourage active engagement with these ideas. The ocean is the foundation of all life on Earth, and our planet ecosystems are dependent on the health of the oceans to support and sustain them. However, our actions and way of life is impacting the oceans.</p> <p>This pack includes <a href="http://https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12720441" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Oceans 1</a>, <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12720526">Oceans 2</a>, <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12720539">Oceans 3</a> and <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12720549">Oceans 4</a> as a collective resource. However, due to the module size and depth these components may also be taught individually. These individual components can be found on our author dashboard.</p> <p>Learning Outcomes:<br /> (SCN 3-01a, SCN 3-05b, SCN 4-05b, SCN 4-06a, SCN 4-20a, SCN 4-20b, SOC 3-08a, SOC 4-09b, SOC 4-11a, SOC 4-12b)</p> <p><strong>This resource created by Penny Clarke, Jenny Crocks, Phoebe Hudson and adapted by Molly Wickett, is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.</strong></p>

<p>Due to climate change, this layer is changing. The Biosphere 1.1 explores what the Biosphere is made up of, and how it can be studied through technology and satellite imaging. The Biosphere 1.2 explores the effects of climate change, using the case study of forest fires as a naturally occurring yet increasingly extreme event. This looks first at band maths and plant health to establish an understanding of healthy vegetation and how this is then impacted. The impact of forest fires can be viewed through this data set, exploring the use of NDVI indexes and satellite imaging to understand and analyse the extent of the damage.</p> <p>This resource makes accessible complex ideas about the biosphere, and can be flexibly adapted for learners aged 10-14.</p> <p>It is suitable as a standalone resource. The information and activity packs match up with the topics covered in other Satschool modules can also supplement and enhance those materials.</p> <p>Learning outcomes<br /> SCN 3-11b: By exploring radiations beyond the visible, I can describe a selected application, discussing the advantages and limitations.<br /> SCN 3-15: Having contributed to a variety of practical activities to make and break down compounds, I can describe examples of how the properties of compounds are different from their constituent elements.<br /> SCN 3-19a: Through experimentation, I can identify indicators of chemical reactions having occurred.

<p>This interdisciplinary resource aims to develop and encourage curiosity through an expansive, globalised and scientific understanding of the atmosphere. Learners should be able to understand how research components interact to produce a comprehensive overview of the atmosphere, and the effects that climate change may be having upon the atmosphere.</p> <p>This resource makes accessible complex ideas about the atmosphere, what it’s composed of and how we can measure this. The age range is therefore adaptable to learners aged 7-14.</p> <p><a href="https://open.ed.ac.uk/satschool-earth-observation-resource-collection-open-ed/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">You can view the whole collection of adapted SatSchool materials here! </a></p> <p>Learning outcomes<br /> Ozone:<br /> SCN 2-15a: By contributing to investigations into familiar changes in substances to produce other substances, I can describe how their characteristics have changed.<br /> SCN 2-20a: Through research and discussion, I have an appreciation of the contribution that individuals are making to scientific discovery and invention and the impact this has made on society.<br /> SCN 2-20b: I can report and comment on current scientific news items to develop my knowledge and understanding of topical science.<br /> SCN 3-05b: I can explain some of the processes which contribute to climate change and discuss the possible impact of atmospheric change on the survival of living things.<br /> SCN 3-15b: Having contributed to a variety of practical activities to make and break down compounds, I can describe examples of how the properties of compounds are different from their constituent elements.<br /> SCN 3-16a: I can differentiate between pure substances and mixtures in common use and can select appropriate physical methods for separating mixtures into their components.<br /> SCN 4-06a: By researching developments used to observe or explore space, I can illustrate how our knowledge of the universe has evolved over time.<br /> Weather:<br /> SCN 2-20b: I can report and comment on current scientific news items to develop my knowledge and understanding of topical science.<br /> SCN 3-20a: I have collaborated with others to find and present information on how scientists from Scotland and beyond have contributed to innovative research and development.<br /> SCN 3-05b: I can explain some of the processes which contribute to climate change and discuss the possible impact of atmospheric change on the survival of living things.<br /> SCN 4-06a: By researching developments used to observe or explore space, I can illustrate how our knowledge of the universe has evolved over time.<br /> SOC 4-12a: I can identify threats facing the main climate zones, including climate change, and analyse how these threats impact on the way of life.<br /> SOC 4-12c: I can demonstrate an understanding of weather and climate by explaining the relationship between weather and air pressure.</p> <p>This resource was created by Ashar Aslam and Emily Dowd, adapted by Molly Wickett and is licens</p> <p>Cover image:<br /> July 3, 2013 by Earth Observatory NASA is freely available for re-use</p>
