Students will assemble their own camera with assistance from an adult. The images found on the Internet will be described in the science journal. Following directions to assemble and use the camera is an example of a performance-based assessment. Using the simple camera, students will describe the image on which they are focusing. More experienced students will be able to locate a place by using its latitude and longitude.
Students can research and explain why the image viewed through their simple camera is upside down.
Students can pretend to be satellites using remote sensing and write a story about the images they view.
