12. CEO takes advantage of astronauts in space to observe and photograph natural & human-made changes on Earth. Crew members (astronauts) use handheld cameras and a variety of lenses to take Earth observation photographs. Images record the Earth’s surface changes over time, along with dynamic events such as storms, floods, fires, volcanic eruptions, etc. Images are used as the “hook” to get students interested in STEM-related content and careers.

35. EEAB Team Wikis Participating teams are provided with their own Team Wiki. Teams log information about their research as they progress through each of the 9 steps in the process of science.

36. EEAB Team Wikis Participating teams are provided with their own Team Wiki. Teams log information about their research as they progress through each of the 9 steps in the process of science. There are two options for your Team Wiki(s): OPTION 1: Have the entire class work as 1 research team. OPTION 2: Have multiple small groups of students working as research teams.

37. EEAB Team Wiki Once teams* log information in Step 4 (Experiment Design) they are assigned a mentor. Teams communicate with a mentor through the DISCUSSION Tab. DISCUSSION “tab”
