Viva Las Vegas

This activity shows how Earth observation can be used to study human geography by comparing the satellite images of Las Vegas over the last few decades. Linking to measurement of irregular areas and addition and multiplication of fractions, it asks children to measure the area of Las Vegas at three separate times over the last few decades, predict its current extent and then check their prediction. This resource has been produced by the National Centre for Earth Observation.
