| Event Name: | Observing Climate Change with Satellite Images/ Flight time calculations for rockets like Falcon 9 |
| Event Description: | Event - 1 Lesson Duration 2 hours / Grade Level Grade 8 Topic: Satellite Technology and Climate Change Objectives: 1. To understand the role of satellite technology in monitoring climate change. 2. To learn the causes and consequences of climate change. 3. To give concrete examples of climate change by interpreting satellite data. Course Flow 1. Introduction (15 minutes) -Warming of the classroom Start a discussion by asking students what they know about climate change. -Subject introduction: Define climate change and explain why this topic is important. 2. Satellite Technology Introduction (30 minutes) Video: Show a short video about satellite technology and climate monitoring. Discussion: After the video, have a discussion with the students about how satellite technology works. Satellite Data: Provide information about satellite data provided by organizations such as NASA and ESA and their role in climate change research. 3. Analysis of Satellite Images (30 minutes) Visual Investigation: Distribute satellite images to students showing different climatic conditions. For example, deforestation, melting glaciers, etc. -Worksheet: Students will analyze the images and answer the questions on the worksheet (What do they see? What changes do they notice?) 4. Implementation and Evaluation (30 minutes) Dividing into Groups: Divide students into small groups and assign each group a specific climate change topic (e.g. sea level rise, temperature increase, extreme weather events). Research: Groups will conduct research on satellite data related to their topic and prepare a short presentation. Presentation: Each group will present their research and findings to the other groups. Event - 2 This lesson covers space distances and scales using real-world examples. It begins with Earth-Moon and Earth-Sun distances, explaining that the Moon is 384,400 km away, and using scaled models to represent these distances. For example, if the Earth were 1 cm wide, the Moon would be 30 cm away. The lesson also compares the solar system’s planets and the immense distances between stars, such as Proxima Centauri, and the size of the Milky Way. It concludes with rocketry, explaining the concept of thrust (measured in kilonewtons) and demonstrating fuel consumption and flight time calculations for rockets like Falcon 9. |
