Author: Bob Coulter PO Box 299 Phone: 314-577-0219 In this project, more than 1,000 students are testing chemical and biological water quality in the metropolitan St. Louis area and analyzing their data with ArcView GIS. Key program components for students include the development of a greater conceptual understanding of watersheds and the impact of land use decisions on the local environment. The presentation will also highlight the challenges involved in developing usable local data sets that have sufficient depth to enable thoughtful analysis and the lessons learned by project organizers about how to most effectively support participating teachers. |
