OPTION ONE:
Research 3 different ways scientists use Remote Sensing Technology, Global Positioning System (GPS), and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to help monitor conditions of rivers, lakes, wetlands, and oceans.
- If you were a fisherman/woman and made your living on the ocean, which technology would you use and why?
Post your answers to the class wiki.
Student Responses go here! Remote Sensing Technology is where scientist use satellites and take images of the water or land from a different location. Scientist can use this piece of technonlogy to moniter the water quality by comparing the water quqlity from one point in time to another.GPS or Global Postitioning System are used to find a specific area in the world. This could be helpful in monitoring water condition by if you want to see which body of water has the best condition, you could use GPS to locate the tpye of water you water you want and check on the water condition. GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts. If you wanted to know how the water condition in New Bern is, GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared. If I were a fisherwoman, I would use GIS becuase, it would help me find out if the water I'm fishing is is polluted or not.--Alexis
If i were a fisherman i would use the GIS to find out the weather conditions and fishing hotspots so that way i dont get stuck in a thunderstorm! And so i dont spend all day looking for fish and catch anything i could test water quality and see where the water's cleanest so that should be where fish are.
If I were a fisherman, I would use a GPS because it could tell you your location and some can tell you the predicted timeto get to a spot
OPTION TWO:
Make a short video (less than 1 ½ minutes) describing the definition, uses and benefits of one of the following:
1. Remote Sensing
2. Global Positioning System (GPS)
3. Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
