Earth is our home, and our own livelihood is dependent on the health of our planet. We use space technologies to monitor Earth's ecosystems and resources, helping us to better understand and manage our environment for a sustainable future for all. 

Earth Observation (EO) is an example of a space technology that is being used to help our climate. In this activity, become an EO scientist by using different colours to complete a Temperature map of Australia.
