- Introduce the principles of remote sensing using two different examples,
eg how an automatic weather station measures rainfall and measures wind speed by sensing rotations of the anemometer by light.
- Ask the pupils to work in groups to collect data from their chosen source(s), downloading, copying and storing data as appropriate, ready for further analysis. Ask the pupils to write up the completed process individually.
- Remind pupils that data must always be used carefully,
eg weather station data can contain incorrect data, either through a weakness in the system or the way an element is sensed.
- Encourage pupils to undertake independent research, using knowledge of how texts and databases are organised and using appropriate reading strategies.

- present results of analysis in ways that inform the specification of future working
- collect, download or save appropriate data from datalogging or other sources
- understand that remote sensing produces data in particular formats and know what these represent
