ICCARS Modules and Units

Participants in the ICCARS Project, developed modules and units on the topic of climate change and remote sensing. The modules and units emphasized the 5E Instructional Lesson and Project Based Learning. To view the units and modules, please click HERE.

Project Based Learning (PBL) is defined by George Lucas as "students learning by designing and constructing actual solutions to real life problems. To learn more about Project Based Learning, please visit http://bie.org. You can view two model climate change modules at:

ICCARS is funded by a two-year NASA Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) grant awarded to Wayne RESA and Eastern Michigan University. The outcome of this two-year grant is for students and teachers to have a working understanding of the science behind global climate change and its relationship to human activity, in particular its relationship to land-use and land-cover changes on multiple scales, through use of NASA data products and models.
