Suggestion from 3 rd  Grade Teachers Location of calcite, fluorite, gypsum, hornblende, basalt, sandstone, limestone, marble, granite, feldspar, mica, in Montgomery, Somerset County, New Jersey, US, (zoom in-zoom out)  Ability for students to input mineral rock types and samples as they travel collecting rock samples.  Location of caves and sinkholes, fossil locations (Haddonfield, etc.) Link to local geologists that we can email.
Suggestion from 3 rd  Grade Teachers Students create an inventory of the Earth materials used in the construction of their home (inside and out) and compare with other classes in other regions of the country. Topographical maps of the US (zoom in-zoom out) Site organized by content (curriculum unit) Native Americans Earth Materials
Suggestion from 3 rd  Grade Teachers Students create their own points of interest maps (soccer field, dancing school, home, school, restaurant, religious, Calculate distances between points. Students input (or are provided speed limit data) maps and calculate driving time from point to point. Bluebird (any bird) sightings from school and at home. Types of trees Montgomery, Somerset County, New Jersey, US, (zoom in-zoom out).
Suggestion from 3 rd  Grade Teachers Students input data -What’s blooming now at my house (connect with other schools). Students input data- Connection between blossoms and sighting of pollinators (bees, butterflies). Maps of power outages, power use versus time of day Superposition of the Earth materials we study and Native American regions (Desert Southwest, Pacific Northwest, Great Plains, Eastern woodlands.
Suggestion from 3 rd  Grade Teachers Water sources (natural and man-made). Water source/availability versus Native American settlements. Montgomery settlement- Why here?  Soil quality, location, climate, ease of travel, water.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 This presentation will describe how local governments have applied internet /intranet technology to successfully achieve the effective use of GIS for local government and broadening GIS Benefits to other organizations in the municipality. We will show a internet GIS application which we developed as a demonstration case for Montgomery township school district.
