Radar: Lessons

Canada Center for Remote Sensing

This group provides several tutorials about remote sensing that are designed for students ages 10-14. Most of the materials are in JPEG format which allows a teacher to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to download the materials. These materials are quite complete and include pages from which a teacher can make overheads, student worksheets, and all the needed images. Particularly recommended is the tutorial, Looking At the Earth's Environment Through the Eyes of A Satellite.
