Summary
Abstract: This Satellite Meteorology course was developed for middle and high school
science classes. Modules were designed to serve as stand-alone lessons,
however, we strongly encourage a sequential approach to the material.

To maximize learning from this Satellite Meteorology course we recommend that
students:
- Read each module in the order they are presented
-Engage in all hands-on exercises when they ... View entire text
