TRY using new knowledge to apply to new understanding of remote sensing to the Kailua Bay coral reef mission.

Ask how do you think we can use remote sensing to evaluate the state of Kailua’s coral reef.

• Prompt for element and process responses, such as to sense the reflected light from coral reefs using airborne remote sensing instruments.

Prompt students to think about what they just learned about remote sensing and develop a model of how remote sensing will be used to evaluate the state of Kailua’s coral reef. They should draw and label the picture of the remote sensing process and respond to the questions on the Activity sheet: Applying your understanding (RS-4).

Discuss student maps and responses to questions.

Remind students to complete the Activity sheet: Reflection page (RS-5) in their student journal for this lesson.

Discuss next lesson: 

• We just learned the about the basic elements and processes of remote sensing.

Ask:

• What questions do you still have about remote sensing?

Summarize lesson by stating that these questions are what we will investigate in the next lesson.
