This lesson examines how scientists utilize technology to collect and analyze data on wildlife. Just as biologists track animal movements using remote sensors, students will use Micro: Bits and simulated game cameras to detect and record sightings. GIS (Geographic Information Systems) brings it all together, helping students map and analyze the distribution of animals. Students will also consider the environmental impact of building a natural gas pipeline, using their data to help decide the best path the pipeline should take.
Key Topics: ecology, data collection, animal behavior, computer science, mapping technology, environmental impact
