In
this
activity,
the
GLOBE
Kids
are
excited
to
perform
a
play
for
the
rest
of
the
school,
demonstrating
what
they
have
learned
about
the
Earth
and
all
of
its
parts.
They
hit
a
glitch
when
they
cannot
decide
which
Earth
component
is
the
most
important,
but
end
up
learning
a
lot
about
the
Earth,
Sun,
water,
air,
soil,
and
living
things,
and
the
way
these
components
are
interconnected.

This
chapter
walks
users
through
a
technique
for
documenting
change
in
before-and-after
sets
of
satellite
images.
The
technique
can
be
used
for
any
set
of
time-series
images
that
are
spatially
registered
to
show
the
exact
same
area
at
the
same
scale.
In
the
chapter,
users
examine
three
Landsat
images
of
the
Pearl
River
delta
in
