Introductory course to Geospatial Science and GIS! Includes syllabus, modules, quizzes, labs, assignments, and activities for a 10-week course.

The goal of these class activities is to help students interpret maps and associated data. The first activity highlights underinvestment in disadvantaged communities across the United States. The second activity explores women’s rights and inequality from a global perspective.

This guide walks you through three activities for students to complete:

Class Activity 3.2 – Create a true and false color composite satellite image.

Class Activity 5.1 – Label states and capitals in the northeastern US.

Class Activity 7.1 - Create a Bend-centered Equidistant Map Projection.

Students compare traditional paper-based techniques associated with estimating areal precipitation, watershed delineation, and modeling evapotranspiration. This assignment challenges students to consider the various assumptions involved with both analog and digital analyses and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches.

This lab reinforces the concepts of using coordinate systems for pinpointing locations on Earth's surface. Students are directed to search for background information online as a way to remind them of the concepts, and as a way to help them identify resources for future background help. They follow specific directions for converting between coordinate systems using ArcGIS software. Then they compare distances on the Earth for a local area using GCS units and UTM units. The end goal is to illustrate the utility of projected coordinate systems. Finally, they extract coordinate pairs from their maps and collect GPS coordinates from the same points in order to confirm the connection between GIS and GPS.

Globally increasing temperatures are likely to have impacts on terrestrial, aquatic and marine ecosystems that are difficult to manage. Quantifying impacts worldwide and systematically as a function of global warming is fundamental to substantiating the discussion on climate mitigation targets and adaptation planning. Here we present a macro-scale analysis of climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystems based on newly developed sets of climate scenarios featuring a step-wise sampling of global mean temperature increase between 1.5 and 5 K by 2100. These are processed by a biogeochemical model (LPJmL) to derive an aggregated metric of simultaneous biogeochemical and structural shifts in land surface properties which we interpret as a proxy for the risk of shifts and possibly disruptions in ecosystems.

Our results show a substantial risk of climate change to transform terrestrial ecosystems profoundly. Nearly no area of the world is free from such risk, unless strong mitigation limits global warming to around 2 degrees above preindustrial level. Even then, our simulations for most climate models agree that up to one-fifth of the land surface may experience at least moderate ecosystem change, primarily at high latitudes and high altitudes. If countries fulfil their current emissions reduction pledges, resulting in roughly 3.5 K of warming, this area expands to cover half the land surface, including the majority of tropical forests and savannas and the boreal zone. Due to differences in regional patterns of climate change, the area potentially at risk of major ecosystem change considering all climate models is up to 2.5 times as large as for a single model.

Students at grade 2 can play with pictures and learn Math at the same time.

The intended audience includes adult learners (Grade Level D) seeking basic reading skill development. Learners will imagine that they are entering a new field of employment. They are given written information that contain new terminology specific to their occupation. Using a range of strategies, learners will determine or clarify the meaning of specific words as they are used in a specific technical context. This lesson will help learners to gain vocabulary related to an occupation of interest in order to build knowledge to prepare for a career.

The Galapagos Islands are famed for their unique animal species found nowhere else on Earth. What intrigues you the most about this archipelago?

Make your survey fun by gamifying it! This resource provides a tutorial on how to gamify survey questions and how to incorporate a game quest to make it more engaging and meaningful to the learners.

In December 2023, Geeta Wahi Dua led a tour of Sunder Nursery in Delhi for CAORC OFDS participants. During the tour, she intertwined the history of the nursery with stories of the design elements, pointing out motifs and the meaning behind them.
Garden as Universe, Universe as Garden: What are the creative realms of gardens in contemporary India? Landscape architect Geeta Wahi Dua discusses curating the book Bagh-e-Bahar for the 2023 India Art, Architecture, and Design Biennale. The book celebrates the idea of a “garden” in the context of India. Dua shares selected gardens in India with strong attributes toward philosophical, environmental, and design aesthetics, which cover diverse geographies, manifest in multiple scales, and reflect the rich natural and cultural heritage of the country. UCF Arboretum Director Jennifer Elliot as moderator.

In January 2024, Ruchita Gupta, Ph.D. presented a lecture on Indian urban informal settlements to CAORC OFDS participants visiting the School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi.
Informal Housing in Delhi: Policies and Case Studies: The growth of India’s population and increase in urban migration has amplified the shortage of affordable housing in India’s capital. How do government policies address the need for housing for the urban poor, slums and squatter settlements in the city of Delhi? Ruchita Gupta, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Housing, School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, presents several case studies to provide a glimpse of the living conditions of the urban poor in these settlements. Moderated by FDS participant Amar Sawhney, Professor of Architecture, Building Construction and Interior Design, Miami Dade College.

This chemistry activity was created to enhance student learning around the gas laws. It guides students through PhET simulations, the creation of graphs from collected data, and then asks comprehension questions afterward.chemistr

This is a one-day close reading activity that would go well with a unit on The Great Gatsby or the American Dream.

This resource is an ordered outline for teachers who need guidance on what to cover for the geometry portion of the GED math test. Downloadable links are embedded in the outline as well as emphasis suggestions. The outline lists concepts to cover in a logical order for success on the geometry portion of the GED.
