  • Contact name and information for more information about the site/resource
  • Screenshots (optional)

Satellite Observations in Science Education SOSE

The purpose of this site is to improve the teaching and learning of the Earth system through quality educational resources that make use of satellite observations. Recognizing the increasing importance of online learning techniques, this site makes freely available a library of Reusable Content Objects (RCOs) - a toolkit adaptable to a wide variety of applications. Using this toolkit, an educator can quickly assemble highly interactive web-based activities.

The site also provides access to real-time satellite data via a very simple (one click) interface.
