Space Ninjas: Spy Satellites 	Learn how satellites work in outer space and why they are important, then design and build your own!
 * [|Satellites] - How do satellites stay in orbit? How do they communicate information? Here are some ways we explored satellites recently.

 * Learn more...**
 * [|Reading Satellite Images] - number of related images, observations, discussion about satellites, vocabulary - could be expanded to use Google Earth
 * [|NASA IMAGE satellite activities] - more than 100 activities. Old but most activities still interesting and appropriate.
 * [|Creating an Action / Reaction Model] - to better understand how rockets and satellites change direction.
 * [|On Stage for Orbit] - to understand how a satellite can stay in orbit around the earth; to discover why it takes a two stage rocket to put a satellite into orbit.
 * [|Satellites in Orbit] - To demonstrate two forces acting on a satellite.
 * [|Oval Orbits] - To introduce the concept of orbit and to observe that objects can orbit in both oval and circular orbits.
 * [|TILT!] - To demonstrate that satellites pass over different parts of the Earth on each revolution because the Earth is rotating beneath it.
