MCAS Days

Students worked with the International Space Station EarthKam to request photos of Earth.  They were requesting photos that they'll be able to analyze and determine how people are interacting with physical geography in different areas around the world.

Parents, ask your students what they were hoping to see in a photo from the ISS and how that relates to human and physical geography.
