In the Powers of Inquiry lessons that use image processing and analysis to explore data, students can:
- display and manipulate digital images from research being conducted by NIEHS-supported and other scientists;
- filter and enhance images to highlight and identify important features;
- display and animate archived and near-real-time data relayed to Earth from orbiting satellites;
- capture and display images for microscopic and macroscopic explorations;
- apply spatial scales to images and make meaningful measurements of lengths, perimeters, and areas;
- calibrate images that contain temperature, chemical concentration, topographic, and other kinds of data, and use the calibrated images to measure intensities and rates of biological and chemical processes; and
- animate stacks of images and measure changes occurring with the passage of time, including events that occur in milliseconds or those that take days, weeks, and years.
