The ocean's surface is not level, and sea levels change in response to changes in chemistry and temperature. Sophisticated satellite measurements are required for scientists to document current sea level rise.

Students visit a NASA Website called "Eyes on the Earth" to view satellite missions in 3D circling the Earth and learn to navigate to specific satellites to learn about their capability of analyzing our changing planet and air quality.

This activity invites students to simulate and observe the different effects on sea level from melting sea-ice.

The Earth System Satellite Images, along with the Data Literacy Cubes, helps the learner identify patterns in a specific image.
