What is GIS?
Key Features:• “layers” of information - all geo-referenced• Shape, line, point files• Ability to make queries

What is citizen science? Voluntary collection of data to contribute to a larger cause,
question, or database. Examples:

What is FieldScope? A GIS- and web-based platform for exploring citizen science data
Highlights– Learner Friendly– New data is being added all the time (it’s alive!)

What is geo-reasoning? Decision Making
– Geographic (location, transportation)– Far-reaching (remote consequences)
Systems Thinking– Human systems– Environmental systems– Human-environment interactions

How can I get my students involved? Get involved with a citizen science organization that is using
FieldScope– FrogWatch USA– Project BudBurst– Trash Free Potomac Watershed– Nature Bridge – Olympic National Park– BioBlitz 2013 in New Orleans
Stay tuned for “project builder” tools…– For updates check www.natgeoed.org/fieldscope
Use FieldScope to explore issues as we just did! – Civic Engagement meets Citizen Science with GIS
