width
-
CSO’s include curve fitting with logistic,
exponential, or linear functions; technology includes use of
ImageJ software to create polygons in digital images and measure
area
-
Mountain Bike Project:

The Map Your School Project
The “Map Your School Project” is sponsored by the “Adopt a
School” Program of the Rahall Transportation Institute, the Department of
Integrated Science and Technology at Marshall University, the Appalachian
Math Science Partnership, and the June Harless Center for Rural Education
Research and Development.
- What do I need to participate?
- A GPS unit that will interface with GPS TrackMaker Software. If
you have access to a Garmin Venture GPS unit, detailed instructions
are available on this site are available for all activities
necessary to participate in this activity.
- A computer capable of operating GPS TrackMaker and Google Earth.
- What do I do?
- Have an administrator at your school “sign up” by email for the
program. The email should be from the state email system and should
identify your school and county system.
- Using the Garmin Venture GPS unit, create a series of Waypoints
that mark the boundaries, structures, and unique habitat on your
school grounds
- Using GPS TrackMaker software download these Waypoints and save
as a GPS Exchange File (*.gpx).
- Email this file to
isat@marshall.edu
