Lesson Plans

Written by Lyn Malone, teacher and co-author of Mapping Our World: GIS Lessons for Educators. These lessons help teachers and students get started with GIS in their schools. Detailed step-by-step instructions and well-placed screen shots guide students through the process of mapping trees on their study site. CITYgreen software is used to conduct an environmental analysis of their trees to investigate benefits in cleaning air and water.

With advanced investigative lessons, the students are able to create and analyze alternate landcover scenarios that build broad-based problem-solving skills.
