TRY using new knowledge while making the decisions necessary to create a plan for the remote sensing mission over Kailua Bay.

Break students into several groups and direct each group to look at various images of Oahu

Teacher note:

  • These images are not current images of Kailua Bay. We will investigate coral reefs in the "Analyzing data" lesson by using more current (1998-2000) images.

  • For the location of Kailua Bay on the island of Oahu refer once again to the map of Oahu.

Ask students:

  • How would you classify these images in terms of spatial and temporal resolution?

Prompt students to look at different images over Kailua Bay that were taken by different remote sensing instruments and ask them to record the answers on the Activity Sheet: Comparing Remote Sensing images(PRSM-2)

Prompt each group develop a plan for their remote sensing missions using the Activity sheets: Planning a mission (PRSM-3).

Prompt groups to present their plans to the class.

Classmates assess and provide feedback to each group's plan.

Remind students to complete the Activity sheet: Reflection page (PRSM-3) in their student journal.

Summarize the lesson and introduce the next lessons, "Collecting and Analyzing data."

  

 






Student activity:

  • View the various images of Oahu.  Concentrate especially on trying to find Kailua Bay (remember some images may not have Kailua Bay, and in that case where is Kailua Bay relative to the image) 



Sample student responses:

 

 

 

 

 


 

  • Students share their remote sensing plans.


  • Students complete the Activity sheet: Reflection page (PRSM-3) in their student journal.
