New activity - Experience GIS for Conservation
I'm excited to share a new activity for students - Experience GIS for Conservation. This activity has students read about a real-life conservation GIS use case, answer some questions about what they've read, then use GIS to solve similar problems.
No accounts? No problem - They aren't needed
Students can get hands-on using GIS for conservation without having an account. The first part of the activity can be completed without one. If the students have accounts, there is more in the activity that they can continue to do.
Where does the activity fit in the classroom?
Consider incorporating this activity into the following career clusters and pathways in CTE programs:
- Agriculture, food, and natural resources
- Energy and natural resources
- Natural resources systems
- Environmental service systems
- Forestry and natural resources
- Conservation and land management
- Ecological resource and development
- Environmental protection
- STEM
- Law, public safety, corrections, and security
Teaching a higher ed unit on conservation, environmental science, or environmental justice? Your students will also benefit.
None of those apply to you? You can still use the activity - we are happy to see more students exposed to GIS.
Leave us a comment about how the activity worked for your students.
