Students understood Spatial variability because THEY measured it
Students learned that spatial thinking = spatial analysis
Spatial analysis leads to more spatial questions
Quotes:• “I learned how to read numbers!”
• “I didn’t even know Little Sugar Creek was there.”
• “Science is interesting (and important to know!)
• “We learned how to make maps and show our results.”
• “We learned how all the parts of the stream fit together.”
Next Steps:
1. Build on the momentum!
2. GIS Day 2016! = Story Maps, Student Presentations
3. Widen the circle! = more schools, more students
