Project IMAGE: Investigative Materials About Global Environments

大约有150万学生每人参加一门地球科学课程 年 所有全球环境问题都可以与一个 地球科学专题 现有地球科学课程 因此，提供了一条有效的路线， 国家的学生中有相当多的人。 调查 1000名国家地球科学教师 协会产生了49%的回应，97%的 受访者赞成使用基于图像的活动， 他们的课程。 根据这些数据和其他数据， 这些材料每年将惠及75万名学生， 大大提高了国家下一个成年人的意识， 他们将面临的环境问题。 15个使用卫星和高空的实践模块 这些图像将使学生面对问题， 我们的全球环境的挑战，将得到发展。 二十位地球科学大师将与 工作人员对活动的发展，在每个 三个暑期学校 这些材料将经过实地测试 这些教师在两个学年的商业 出版物 一系列执行讲习班， 与商业出版商合作， 这些材料将被保留。

About 1.5 million students take an earth-science course each year. All global environmental issues can be linked to an earth-science topic. Existing earth-science course therefore provide an efficient route for reaching a significant number of the nation's students. A survey of 1000 members of the National Earth Science Teachers Association yielded a 49% response, with 97% of the respondents favoring the use of imagery-based activities in their courses. Based on these and other data, it is likely that these materials will reach 750,000 students per year, greatly increasing the awareness of the nation's next adult generation to the environmental issues that they will face. Fifteen hands-on modules using satellite and high altitude imagery that will confront students with the problems and challenges of our global environment, will be developed. Twenty master earth-science teachers will work with the staff on the development of the activities during each of three summer institutes. The materials will be field tested by these teachers during two academic years for commercial publication. A series of implementation workshops in cooperation with the commercial publisher to disseminate these materials will be held.
