Instructional Materials
The purpose of this section
of the Web site is to make Landsat images and supporting literature available
to the K-12 audience. Landsat images can provide teachers and their students
with a means of understanding how their communities make decisions that
can impact biodiversity and the climate. In addition, the site also provides
interdisciplinary lessons and activities for K-12 students that teachers
can use to introduce the concepts of GIS, remote sensing, and impervious
surfaces into their curriculums. K-12 teachers and their students have
been actively involved in this project through their efforts to collect
ground-truth data on land cover throughout the Chesapeake Bay basin.
