Drawing Earth from Space and Making Maps

SciShow Kids

In this episode of Sci Kids, host Jessi and her robot mouse friend Squeaks explore how our planet looks from different distances in space to learn about geography and mapping. Through an engaging art project, they investigate why we can see massive features like continents, oceans, and ice caps from the International Space Station, but cannot see smaller details like houses or forts. The video uses real satellite imagery to help young students visualize the Earth as a whole system.
