| GPS
Mapping my Community (Grade 9) |
| |
This lesson is designed to introduce
students to GPS technology as they investigate urban land
use in their community and learn about the role an urban
planner plays the development of a town or city. Students
will travel around every street in a specific corner of
their community and identify and map all forms of land use
in that area. Back in the classroom, students will create
a digital map of their community from the data they collected
during their fieldwork. |

| The
Great GPS Scavenger Hunt |
| |
This lesson requires students to learn
to use a GPS receiver as they learn about physical geography.
Students will use GPS receivers to survey an open area (natural
or disturbed ecosystems) and investigate the different species
of plant populations, rock and land formations, and soil
types either in the school grounds or in recreational areas
in the local community. Students will examine the geologic
and geomorphic formations and describe how water and wind
erosion have shaped the landscape and helped further plant
and animal succession. |
