Studying Earth´s Environment from Space (SEES)-classroom and computer lab activities using satellite data

A series of Earth science topical products have been developed for high school and college educators and students based on global environmental satellite data and images. This series includes modules to study Stratospheric Ozone, Global Land Vegetation, Oceanography, and Polar Ice Processes. These resources are available on the WWW. The goal of these products is to increase the use of satellite data in high school and undergraduate science classrooms by developing classroom materials linked to guided inquiry computer exercises. Each topical module contains: class resources, computer lab resources, and instructor resources. The materials have been designed for use in a wide variety of instructional environments including traditional lecture and laboratory settings, and for advanced independent study. The products´ scientific and educational quality has been established using extensive reviews by both scientists and educators and by the NASA Earth Science Enterprise product review process
