WHAT IS NEO?• NASA Earth Observations (NEO)
– A collection of current global NASA satellite data imagery that
can be easily accessed and utilized by a variety of users and
applications.
– Addresses the needs of data users who do not posses the
expertise or tools to handle raw data.
• Target Audiences
– Formal & informal educators– Museums & Science Centers– Science communicators– Citizen scientists

NEO IN THE CLASSROOM• As a tool NEO can be used in different subjects pertaining the Earth
Science Class.
• Subjects like:
A) Maps as a tool
B) Earth’s Atmosphere Exploration
C) Weather Effects
D) Water Temperature
E) Topography
F) Oceanography
G) Satellites and Remote Sensing

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE
• empower formal and informal educators with tools that will
enrich their teaching experience and curriculum.
• Gain awareness of the NASA Earth Observations or NEO site
(http://neo.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/Search.html)
Let’s take a tour of NEOLet’s take a tour of NEO

Analyzing Data
• Website:
http://neo.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/Search.html
• An example,
• Go to –
> Oceans
> Chlorophyll Concentration
• Click on, Analyze this image
![Page 12: NASA’s NEO and Earth Observatory](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681487d550346895db586cc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• What do you see?
• Can you understand it by itself?
Would it make more sense to
compare it with something else?
• Fore example, go to –
> Oceans
> Sea Surface Temperature
(Make sure Dates and instrument
Match what you chose for
Chlorophyl!)
• Click on, Analyze this image
• Click on, Configure/Launch
analysis

• >Click on, Launch analysis • (You can download the datasets and
do the analysis on your classroom
without the need of a internet
connection by clicking the download
button and following the directions)
• Focus on a place?
Select – Zoom & Roam
(optional, can be useful
for place-based
education)

• >Select – Plot transect
• What relationship do you see here between
chlorophyll concentration and sea surface
temperature?
• Why does chlorophyll go down when sea surface
temperature goes up?
• What else would you compare?
