We hope that the SIMPLE Science materials have provided you with an engaging and useful peek into the world of imaging and image analysis. The combination of pictorial thinking and digital analysis is an exciting tool to aid learning about science, technology, mathematics, and other subjects.

Image analysis becomes an even more powerful educational tool if you use it to engage in independent discovery and research. This page provides you with suggestions on how to take image analysis to the next level of learning.

• First, lead your students through all the SIMPLE Science activities. After your class completes the basic lesson, have them do the Further Exploration extension activities for more opportunities to use the tools and investigate the topic.

• For a more in-depth exploration of image processing, you may purchase a copy of the newly revised Discovering Image Processing. DIP2 includes:

- 10 lessons
- A PDF of the entire Guidebook that allows teachers to print lessons and skill sheets in color or black-and-white
- Extensive support and reference materials
- Detailed Teaching Notes with educational objectives, national standards met by the lesson, and troubleshooting tips
- Curriculum overview and assessment
- Complete answers for the Student Data Sheets
- Strategies for classroom management
- Suggestions for integration with additional subject areas

• Teachers may also want to develop their own lessons using the SIMPLE Science as their model.
