Satellite-Borne and Iss-Borne Remote Sensing in School Lessons: Lessons Learned and New Mediation Ways

The contribution demonstrates the application possibilities of remote sensing in secondary STEM education. It is shown how propaedeutic learning and pupils' methodological competences are emphasized by applying digital image processing techniques and real data of earth observation satellites and experimental photography onboard the International Space Station (ISS). E- and m-leaming developments are presented focusing on the multispectral Sentinel-2 data as well as the footage of the High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment. It is shown how digital learning modules and augmented reality tools are integrated into classrooms in order to communicate the knowledge about and the handling of natural and man-made phenomena in times of global change. The learning material presented here is found at coloumbuseye.uni-bonn.de (for ISS / HDEV) and fis.uni-bonn.de (for remote sensing in general).
