Bernards Twp GIS Technology Science
This is my most favorite GIS4Kids project. Students at Bernards Township is collecting deer population data. It become part of science curriculum. http://www.communitymap.net/deer/bernards
Change the nature of instruction to a student centered, project based mode utilizing technology, resulting in the examination of the design of assessment”, Bernards Township has worked with Vertices to create interactive GIS websites for Science and Social Studies. These websites will allow students to collect, enter and analyze data that ties into the current curriculum and will be used to provide information to the township. The Deer Populations and Impact: Project Deer Spotter website will be used by science classes to monitor deer populations in the township and will result in the students making assessments on deer populations as they relate to accidents, hunting and food supply. The Bernards Township GIS Technology in Social Studies website is designed to give students a proper understanding of the impact of geography on a particular culture. Students will use the program to collect data about Bernards Township and make inferences and draw conclusions based on their information.
