Google Earth Timelapse Change Matters – Landsat
What obligation do we have in regards to sustainability efforts worldwide and locally?
This project sounds like there are many opportunities for culture data collection! Awesome!
1. How can renewable energy be more sustainable?
Great open-ended question!! Kids are going to dig this topic!!!
1. How can we, as Skyview students, protect pollinators in the Colorado Springs community (and beyond)?
2. No questions 🙂
3. Hands-on time – I learn by doing!
This sounds like a fabulous Geo-Inquiry! I am excited to see where this goes!
How can Steamboat Springs conserve water resources?
Geo-Inquiry Question: How does the environment influence adaptation? (overarching question for class to then develop their own specific questions.)
What are some good ways to intro using the survey tool with classes/groups? How do you approach taking the data into follow up mode before going to the next phase?
It’s helpful to start with a simple, whole-class survey, first. The data for the project will shine through at all levels of your Geo-Inquiry project. It will help start other questions, other survey collection points, and it will also be a focal point as students move into create and act.
1. How can we, as responsible citizens protect historical sites?
2. I don’t have any questions.
3. No needs that I can think of.
Thank you!
Looking forward to seeing how this Geo-Inquiry unfolds! 🙂
Geo-Inquiry Question:
How can a community preserve open space–for instance the wetlands area in particular?
Since I do not really know this process, I do not know what to expect in the ‘visualize’ stage. Is there any data I should look at in order to prepare for this next step?
Visualize and Collect will go hand in hand. There are lots of ways to collect data and move from collect into visualize. The visualize stage is also the online GIS work as well. 🙂
1. How does the environment influence adaptation?
2. How do you allow the student to use the survey123 platform? Do you create individual accounts for each student? Do you create a general account all students can access?
3. No needs. Great day! Thanks for the opportunity to play with the survey123 tool.
I have used Survey123 in both ways, with just a class survey, then creating accounts for teams or individuals to build their own surveys. Start small and limited first, then let the students take the reigns!
Thank you for letting us get out into the field to do our research. Steamboat Springs is the perfect place for this activity. It also reminded me how important it is to get kids outside.
I am glad you are enjoying this beautiful location to dive into GEO-Inquiry!
1. How can Steamboat preserve/protect its community from the negative effects of population growth?
2. How do you print a hard copy of the survey?; In the collect phase, are students collecting data for the answer to our question or to get information to test our question?
3. I am curious to find out how much we let students have voice and choice and how much we guide it.
Sounds like a great GeoInquiry question! You could potentially print a hard copy of this survey or even use a Google Form for survey purposes. In the collect phase, students are gathering as much data as possible, about the topic.
Voice and choice level is up to you. It is amazing to see what students can come up with when provided opportunities to guide their own learning!
Geo-Inquiry Question: How can the town of Steamboat Springs preserve and protect its community from the negative effects of population growth?
We collected location data about where people were from using the location map. How do we see that data on a map?
Have you done a survey with students and then gone out and done another one based on the information you received?
Great question! In Survey123, go to the Analyze tab within your survey, scroll down to your mapped question(s) and on the far right there is a “map” tab.
Yes, you may find it necessary to do more than one survey/data collection, within the field. Remember, these can be low tech or high tech. We’ll show some additional “Collect” action steps today within the Collect/Visualize stages. 🙂
We found the map on the “data” tab rather than the “analyze” tab.
Great! Glad that tool is helpful for you! 🙂
1. How does the urbanization of Steamboat Springs effect its natural features?
2. Nope!
3. Nope!
It was a great day!!!
Thanks for the feedback! Looking forward to seeing the growth of your project!!!
How does the urban development of Steamboat Springs effect it’s natural features?
No questions at this time
Handouts about the process (First do this, next do this) would be helpful for me to remember everything we are learning. We are learning so much that I’m afraid that I’ll miss a crucial step.
Here is a link to the Student Resources Handouts. And I am here to help you through the Geo-Inquiry Process! 🙂

How do people decide where in the world to live?
There is a “People on the Move” lesson that could help with this. Have you used this before?
How do people decide where to live in the world?
Q1: How can a community preserve open space (wetlands specifically) and why should they?
Q2: I am still struggling with the “Ask” portion of this process. I am need to sift through the resources that are available to understand how to craft and guide students with this process.
Q3: Are we using today’s data for tomorrow’s visualize exercise?
Great question! There are tons of resources to take kids through this process in the Student Resources Handbook. https://media.nationalgeographic.org/assets/file/Geo_Inquiry_Student_Workbook_Final_2.pdf
And yes! We will be using your data collection as part of visualize, along with the POD ArcGIS maps that you’ll be creating later this week too! 🙂
