Gallaway Slide 1 GIS Curriculum for High School Earth and Environmental Science Peer Review Brief William Gallaway 6 May 2013

Gallaway Slide 2 Outline Project Description Project Goals Background Scope Deliverables Methodologies Sample Course Modules Challenges and Conclusions

Gallaway Slide 3 Project Description Design GIS course modules tailored for Prince William County, Virginia High School ‘Earth and Environmental Science’ curriculum.

Gallaway Slide 4 Project Goals Introduce high school teachers and students to GIS technologies and methodologies to: – Enhance the learning environment () – Expose students to technology and tools used by professionals – Introduce web-based research and datasets “…After data are mapped, pattern-seeking and analysis inquiries (collectively known as spatial thinking) can help students draw conclusions, solve problems, make decisions, and consider areas of further research.” - Sarah Bednarz, GeoJournal 2004

Gallaway Slide 5 Background Why GIS? “ (1) Key tool to analyze the environment and solve problems (2) Enhances student interest (3) Motivates students to career in science and engineering” - NCGIA Core Curriculum, 1990 Studies of effectiveness – Boulder High School, 2000 – West Covina High School, 2004

Gallaway Slide 6 Scope Matched to school curriculum – 14 total blocks of instruction for Earth and environmental sciences – GIS modules will augment three main areas – 2-3 days instruction per module (scalable) Uses open source and state and federal GIS data sources Focuses on Virginia and mid-Atlantic regions

Gallaway Slide 7 Deliverables Three instructional modules for teachers 1. Introduction to GIS (Mapping Block) 2. Earthquake Risks (Geology Processes Block) 3.Wind Power (Renewable Resources Block) Data Sets – Shapefiles, raster files – Solution sets

Gallaway Slide 8 Methodologies ‘Train the Trainer’ – Work with High School and School District representatives – Determine what is feasible – Match to District goals Select and Learn Software Review Curriculum Develop Modules Present to Instructor Nov ‘12 Dec ‘12– Apr ‘13 Apr ‘13 Train Instructors May – July ‘13 Aug ‘13 Present at District Conf. Iterative Development

Gallaway Slide 9 Module One – Intro to GIS Terminal learning objectives: – Introduce students to GIS discipline, concepts and uses – Introduce software (QGIS) Enabling learning objectives: – Familiarization with basic GIS concepts – Basic Tools (Add files, View Spatial properties, etc…)

Gallaway Slide 10 Module One – Intro to GIS

Gallaway Slide 11 Module Two – Earthquake Risks Terminal learning objectives – Demonstrate basic GIS analysis – Familiarize with government sources of GIS data Enabling learning objectives – Research, create and download earthquake data and population data – Create heat map – Determine Virginia counties at highest risk for earthquake hazards

Gallaway Slide 12 Module Two – Earthquake Risks Student Workflow USGS Earthquake Hazards US Census Bureau Heat Map Intersect Earthquakes with Population Final Output

Gallaway Slide 13 Module Two – Earthquake Risks

Gallaway Slide 14 Module Three – Wind Power Terminal learning objectives – Demonstrate basic GIS analysis using vector and raster data – Familiarization with government sources of GIS data Enabling learning objectives – Select areas meeting minimum wind power class criteria for electricity generation – Buffer locales around population centers – Create slope map from elevation data – Find final locale for wind power generation in a given area based on above criteria

Gallaway Slide 15 Module Three – Wind Power Student Workflow US DOE NREL Data US DOE NREL Data US Census Bureau USGS Elevation Data Create Slope Map Final Output

Gallaway Slide 16 Module Three – Wind Power

Gallaway Slide 17 Challenges Learning new software – Many online resources, well-documented and openly supported Scale of Project Scheduling – School syllabus leaves little room for new material – Teacher availability for training Information Assurance – Need to safely incorporate open source program

Gallaway Slide 18 Conclusion GIS has a place in high school school education – Enhances learning – Exposes the discipline
