NASA’s FREE 1-hr Webinar for Educators in Grades 3-12

Today's NASA satellites find fires as they start, observe how they burn, and map the scars they leave behind. Explore using measurement and area skills to learn about remote detection of wildfires from space. After detecting mock wildfires with mobile devices, students then study satellite-data visualizations to determine the start dates of actual California wildfires.

Learn how scientists assess wildfires using remote sensing. Students use some of the same techniques to solve grade-level appropriate math problems.
