This
module
is
designed
to
connect
cutting
edge
NASA
research
with
the
teaching
and
learning
of
core
science
and
mathematics
concepts
and
skills
while
addressing
state
and
national
education
standards.
The
process
of
science
inquiry
and
the
tools
used
to
do
research
play
a
major
role
in
all
the
lessons.
Topics

The
purpose
of
this
project
is
to
present
the
holistic
study
of
the
biosphere
using
remote
sensing
technology.
The
intention
is
to
have
students
perceive
the
biosphere
as
containing
interlinked
environments
and
organisms,
an
ability
which
would
later
aid
students
when
they
are
introduced
to
concepts
like
trophic
levels
and
energy
flow
within
an
ecosystem
and
in
the
biosphere.
It
is
also
expected
that
