After the storm – Tracking Hurricane Matthew and analysing its impact

Brief description In this set of two activities, students will explore the applications of Earth observation data in tracking hurricanes and assessing their aftermath by using the example of Hurricane Matthew. Students will learn how a hurricane develops and the impact that extreme weather can have on the society. They will do this by comparing […]

The greenhouse effect and its consequences – Investigating global warming 

Brief description In this set of three activities, students will do hands-on experiments and learn how to interpret satellite images for better understanding the overall effects of global warming. In activity 1 students will make a model to demonstrate the greenhouse effect by showing that a higher level of carbon dioxide (CO2) means a higher […]

Highways of the Oceans – Sea currents and the connection to climate

Brief description In this set of three activities, students will use an multimedia module to learn about sea currents, the highways of the oceans, and how they are important for understanding local climates. Using a hands on activity they will investigate what causes ocean currents. They will also use satellite images to analyse the temperature […]

Sea ice from space – Investigating Arctic sea ice and its connection to climate

Brief description In this set of three activities, students will investigate Arctic sea ice. First, they will perform a hands-on activity to find out what happens ‘when the ocean freezes’. Then, they will use satellite images to analyse the sea ice concentration and extent and how these parameters have changed in the last decades. They […]

The Magic of Light – Using spectroscopes and colour wheels to study the properties of light

Brief description In this set of eight activities, pupils work individually or in groups to build a spectroscope that can be used to look at light sources possibly including the Sun, LEDs, and a screen. By doing this they will understand that white light can be broken down into many different colours, and that complex […]
