Landsat TM image has a resolution of 30 m. A 1-ha plot (100 m x 100 m) would be equivalent to approximately 9 pixels (a square of 3 pixels by 3 pixels). School biodiversity plots are only 20 m2.) 5. Ask students what factors might affect the use of satellite images. (Cloud cover, for example, can reduce the detail obtained from a Landsat image.) EXTENSIONS 1. Repeat the above activity with a satellite image of your school site, (which should be available from the USGS web site) and a local topographic map

Accurate land cover maps enable us to identify and preserve areas that have <span class="highlight">the</span> greatest potential contribution to long-term conservation <span class="highlight">of</span> biodiversity, and they target sites that will provide <span class="highlight">the</span> most useful information <span class="highlight">for</span> scientists and policymakers.

properties of urine and the physiological processes involved in the production of urine. Students should understand the importance of a high blood flow through the kidneys and the kidney’s role in control of sugar, salts, and water. AP 13.1 Discuss the functions of the kidneys. Describe the anatomy of the renal system, including the gross anatomy, blood supply, and location of the kidneys, and the layers in the walls of the ureters and urinary bladder. AP 13.2 Explain the neural basis of micturition
