1 TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING: HANDHELD GPS AND EARTHCACHING Dr. Heather Petcovic Department of Geosciences and the Mallinson Institute for Science Education
2 TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING: HANDHELD GPS AND EARTHCACHING Tonight s Agenda What is GPS? How does it work? What is EarthCaching? How can EarthCaching be used to teach science (and other subjects)?
3 GPS Global Positioning System Network of 24 satellites (with spares) Developed by Department of Defense Operational 24 hours/day Available worldwide Land, sea and air (but needs a clear view of the sky) Works in all weather conditions It is FREE!!
4 HOW GPS WORKS Radio signal is sent between satellite and receiver The time it takes for the signal to arrive is used to calculate the distance to the receiver Distance = rate x time
5 HOW GPS WORKS Three satellites needed for position (lat, long) and movement Four needed for altitude Most receivers are accurate to 15 m (about 40 feet) Differential receivers are accurate to 3 M (10 feet)
6 LATITUDE Latitude lines run horizontal Equator is 0 North and South Poles are 90
7 LONGITUDE Also known as meridians, run vertical The Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England is 0 Lines range from 0 to 180 International Date Line is 180
8 HOW TO USE A HANDHELD GPS UP key DOWN key ENTER / MARK key PAGE / QUIT key POWER key Garmin Etrex H (discontinued)
9 HOW TO USE A HANDHELD GPS Five main pages: (Welcome startup) SkyView - satellites Map of your track or route Pointer for navigation Trip Computer - records data Menu access waypoints, routes, and tracks
10 HOW TO USE A HANDHELD GPS Setting a waypoint Use the Page key to find the Menu page Scroll to Mark Press Enter Scroll to OK Press Enter again OR Just hold and press the Enter key from any page!
11 HOW TO USE A HANDHELD GPS Navigating to a waypoint Use the Page key to find the Menu page Scroll to Waypoints Press UP or DOWN to scroll to the waypoint you want Press Enter Scroll to Go To and press Enter This brings up the Pointer page so you can navigate
12 HOW TO USE A HANDHELD GPS Navigating to a waypoint, continued On the Pointer page Turn until the pointer aligns with the direction line Start walking in this direction To stop navigating Press Enter from the Pointer menu Select Stop Navigating and press Enter again
13 Now for the fun part!
14 VARIOUS USES OF GPS What can you do with GPS?
15 GEOCACHING An outdoor treasuring hunting game 1. Find a geocache online 2. Navigate to the coordinates 3. Find the hidden container 4. Sign the logbook (or take/ leave a treasure )
16 EARTHCACHING VS GEOCACHING Both are outdoor treasuring hunting game 3. Find the hidden container 1. Find a cache online 2. Navigate to the coordinates 4. Sign the logbook (or take/leave a treasure ) 3. Learn about Earth by making observations and answering questions 4. Log the cache online
17 LETS GO EARTHCACHING!
18 AN EXAMPLE: KALAMAZOO RIVER OIL SPILL Created by a local teacher for our workshop Requires visits to sites in K zoo and Battle Creek Observe and answer questions
19 HOW TO CREATE AN EARTHCACHE 1. Become a member 2. Find an interesting location near you (a lake, beach, glacial feature, stream valley, etc.) 3. Develop a lesson that requires: 1. A visit to the location 2. Some sort of activity (making observations, collecting measurements, etc.) 4. Post your EarthCache 5. Answer questions from visitors
20 EARTHCACHING IN THE CURRICULUM Content Area Scientific Practices Earth Science Environmental Science Geography / Social Studies Math Language Arts Example Learning Objectives - Formulate and test hypotheses - Draw conclusions based on evidence - Observe and explain earth processes using local, realworld examples - Observe and explain interactions between humans and the environment - Characterize and understand landforms - Maps, coordinate systems, and navigation - Make measurements and estimates - Concepts of scale - Graphing and simple equations - Reading comprehension - Technical writing
