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.

每年约有150万学生参加地球科学课程。所有全球环境问题都可以与地球科学话题联系在一起。因此，现有的地球科学课程为接触到全国相当数量的学生提供了一条有效的途径。对全国地球科学教师协会1000名成员的调查得出了49%的回复，97%的受访者赞成在他们的课程中使用基于图像的活动。根据这些和其他数据，这些材料很可能达到每年75万名学生，极大地提高国家的下一代成年人对他们将面临的环境问题的认识。将开发15个使用卫星和高空图像的动手模块，这些模块将使学生面对我们全球环境的问题和挑战。在三个暑期研习班期间，20名地球科学大师将与工作人员一起开展活动。这些材料将在两个学年内由这些教师进行实地测试，以供商业出版。将与商业出版商合作举办一系列实施讲习班，以传播这些材料。
