Abstract
Mapping the Environment: Improving Middle School Education with GISTrack: K-12 Education and Library Science
Author(s): Bob Coulter
Mapping the Environment is a program based at the Litzsinger Road Ecology Center of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Strategically placed to help teachers meet state and national standards in science, math, geography, and technology, this program involves 3,500 middle school students across Missouri in collaborative investigations of their environment. ArcView is used to support students' analysis of their data in comparison to data collected by others locally and (where appropriate) nationally and globally. Teacher training, curriculum development, and field work with students all contribute to the success of the program.
