in
performing
each
step.
It
involves
importing
a

and
adding
it
as
another
series
on
the
original
graph.
The

In
this
activity
guide,
students
use
various
mathematical
skills
in
the
context
of
examining
an
ISS
EarthKAM
image
(ISS
004.ESC1.03221557)
of
farmland
in
Texas
and
New
Mexico.
They
randomly
select
a
sample
region
of
the
image,
count
the
number
of
fields
in
that
region,
and
estimate
how
many
fields
are
in
the
entire
image.
They
check
how
reasonable
their
estimate
is,
compare
estimates,
discuss
differences

This
lesson
plan
uses
NASA
satellite
data
to
contrast
amounts
of
cloud
coverage
over
different
climate
regions
in
Africa.
It
introduces
the
circulation
pattern
of
Hadley
Cells
and
the
band
of
convergence
and
convection
called
the
Intertropical
Convergence
Zone
(ITCZ).
The
lesson
also
discusses
how
frequent
cloud
cover
and
precipitation
occur
along
the
ITCZ
and
how
