Geospatial - Exploring Spaces, Going Places CD
This CD-Rom Explores the world of geospatial science. The three youth levels and helper's guide are valuable resources to anyone interested in geospatial technology, geogrpahic education, GIS, or GPS.
Chapter 1 - Getting Out Where in the world are you? Youth are introduced to new ways of thinking about geogrpahic positions, navigational tools (like GPS, compasses, maps and globes), identifying locations, meausring distances and more. PRoject activities like "Mega Bite's Mystery," "Map Teller," "Data Everywhere,!" and "The Navigator" make learning fun.
Chapter 2 - On the Trail Maps, maps, everywhere! Future map makers will learn how to collect data, combine the data with geogrpahical positions and then make their own maps. Maps of school grounds, neighborhoods, farms, or towns, states and beyond can be made.
Chapter 3 - Reaching your destination Can maps solve problems? Can they lower traffic congestion, pinpoint pollution sources, boost tourism, reduce disease and control crime? Advanced learners find solutions to problems like these as they develop and use multi-layered maps to solve complex problems withing their own communities.
Helper's Guide The Helper's Guide, also included on the CD, supports group activities and group fun. The CD provides the helper with the background and information needed to introduce learners to the world of geospatial concepts, GPS, magnetic compass, maps and GIS.
