Explore, analyze, and elaborate on information you extract using ArcGIS software with EXPLORING TROPICAL CYCLONES: GIS INVESTIGATIONS FOR THE EARTH SCIENCES. This interactive guides letsyou tap the power of the ArcGIS software to explore, manipulate, and analyze large data sets. The guide emphasizes the visualization, analysis, and multimedia integration capabilities inherent to GIS. The GIS information has been preprocessed into maps and legends, and some procedures have been automated so you can focus on the science content.

The popularity of geographic information system (GIS) software as a tool in the social and physical sciences is growing rapidly. These three modular investigation guides let even novice users tap the power of ArcView GIS to explore, manipulate, and analyze large data sets. Carefully designed and class tested, the guides emphasize the visualization, analysis, and multimedia integration capabilities inherent to GIS, while minimizing the need to master a complex software package. Exploring Water Resources make the nuts and bolts of using ArcView GIS transparent to your students. By focusing on teaching with GIS rather than teaching about it, you can incorporate GIS easily into homework, discussions, or lab sessions. This flexible teaching resource motivates and enables your students to "learn by doing" as they use a full complement of GIS capabilities. EXPLORING THE DYNAMIC EARTH: GIS INVESTIGATIONS FOR THE EARTH SCIENCES complements any introductory course in meteorology, oceanography, physical geography, natural hazards, Earth sciences, atmospheric science, and Earth systems science. The guide leads students through a set of exercises in which they are asked to explore, analyze, and then elaborate on the information extracted from a robust GIS dataset using ArcView, the dominant GIS software tool in the school and college market. The GIS information has been preprocessed into maps and legends, and some ArcView procedures have been automated so students can focus on the science content. Extensive classroom testing at both the college and high school levels shows that students have little difficulty using the ArcView data sets to perform the exercises.

This modular, four-part, groundbreaking series is written, and has been extensively class-tested, by Michelle Hall-Wallace and the SAGUARO Project team at Science Education Solutions, Inc. GIS INVESTIGATIONS FOR THE EARTH SCIENCES are designed with precise, step-by-step directions to let even novice users "learn by doing" as they utilize the power of the ArcView GIS application to explore, manipulate, and analyze large data sets. The earth sciences activities emphasize comprehensive learning and focus on connecting patterns to Earth processes. Each new copy of a GIS INVESTIGATIONS contains a CD with unlimited access to the SAGUARO projects and data as well as a FREE 120-day time-locked dual-platform version of the ArcView software. An Instructor's Manual for each of the four GIS INVESTIGATIONS texts provides detailed assistance for instructors on incorporating GIS activities into the classroom or lab.

Nature & Ecology

In GIS Investigations: Earth Science, students use powerful, state-of-the-art GIS software and data backed by current scientific research to investigate a wide variety of topics in the Earth Sciences. Scientists use GIS technology as a tool for organizing, visualizing, and analyzing scientific data. This real-world data provides new insights into the traditional concepts taught in the Earth Science classroom, and motivates students to "discover" key scientific concepts. The investigations are written by scientists and educators in an engaging style, and have been extensively tested, and are in use in classrooms across the country. These investigations do not require teachers or students to have previous experience with GIS software. The extensive data sets offer many opportunities for students' independent, open-ended exploration - to experience the thrill of working like real scientists.
