Program Flyer: A View from the Top: Looking at Earth from Space - Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration
is a free video conference from NASA. Great for middle school or any level discussing how NASA's International Space Station uses pictures to gather data on climate change, weather events, demographics and more.

Here is a snipet of their description:

Many of us have seen photos of the Earth taken from the Space Shuttle and have marveled at their beautiful vistas. Such imagery will continue to be collected as the International Space Station becomes fully operational, providing a permanent platform for remote sensing. At NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, Earth scientists study images of Earth from geographic and scientific points of view, and their investigations reveal telling facts about our planet and its processes. NASA also collects data relating to climate change, weather events, pollution, and demographics using Earth Observation Satellites. Join NASA's Digital Learning Network as we work together to develop interpretive skills and learn how to look at space-based photography the same way Earth observation scientists do at NASA.
