The Ability of Grade 5 Students To Use Radarsat Satellite Images.

Kirman, Joseph M.; Busby, Stephanie

Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v46 n2 p134-48 Sum 2000

A study examined the ability of 32 grade-5 students in Alberta (Canada) to interpret Radarsat satellite radar images. The students were able to interpret most elements of the images, but working directly with the CD-ROM proved too difficult for them. The Radarsat images have limited value as a geographic resource at the grade-5 level. (TD)
