(Conclusion.) It appears that the grade three children in this project were able to interpret selected elements of "Band 5" black-and-white Landsat imagery. Provided the teacher is knowledgeable and specific in instructing a class about the different spectral signatures and shapes found on such images and is willing to spend sufficient time teaching it, it may be tentatively concluded that the interpretation of such imagery is within the capabilities of children as young as grade three.
