Gettysburg Project
In this project students studied the Battle of Gettysburg. The culmination activity was a one hundred minute class period team taught by the US History Teacher (Ed Morrell) and the GIS teacher (Ted Gardiner) utilizing GIS information to see the historical significance of the Battle of Gettysburg. We then take a Field Study to Gettysburg National Park and visit different locations.

El Nino and La Nina
In this project students studied the climatic phenomena El Nino and La Nina by downloading images from the GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) website. They will incorporate these images into an ArcView project and identify patterns and characteristics of these phenomena, then assess the impact these anomalies have on the global and local environment.

Growing Pains Project
In this project students compared the processes and implications of population growth in the world's fastest and slowest growing regions: sub-Saharan Africa and Europe. Through the analysis of standard of living indicators in these two regions, students will explore some of the social and economic implications of rapid population growth.

Mapping Tectonic Hot Spots Project
In this project students used the Internet to acquire the most recent data on earthquakes and volcanoes worldwide. Students constructed a current World Tectonic Hot Spots map.

Water World
This project focused on the idea if the rapidly warming climate of the earth will cause the ice sheets of Antarctica to break apart and melt at a much faster rate than was predicted a hundred years earlier. Students study the impact this change will have on the planet.
