Weather Worksheet: How Do You Make a Weather Satellite?
This worksheet, called 'Weather Worksheet: How Do You Make a Weather Satellite?', was originally presented by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and is, in fact, an adapted booklet from the original work by Ed Koenig. This is a 12-pager which explains complicated processes of weather tracking and predicting in simple terms, using 'down-to-earth' analogies and explanatory examples. The booklet covers making and launching a satellite into space, setting up temperature sensors and scanning mirrors, as well as main principles of weather satellite operation, - in an easy-to-understand language.
The lesson can be wrapped up by reviewing two types of weather satellites, their composition and the real-life facts, - everything is presented on the last pages of the worksheet, along with a brief glossary of terms for satellite, orbit, sensor, NASA, NOAA, National Weather Service, POES and GOES.
