Maps and Aerial Photographic Systems (MAPS): An Integrated Curriculum for the Middle School

9452842瓦格纳 地图和航空摄影系统（MAPS）课程是基于在南卡罗来纳州开发的资源包，为中学生提供教学材料和相关的制图产品，以调查地质，土地使用，历史，文化多样性和环境问题之间的相互关系。 南卡罗来纳州的模式被扩大到包括东南部和材料反映了目前的国家课程倡议和标准的科学和地理的重点。 这些材料使用红外航空照片、大地卫星图像、各州地图、地形图和土壤图作为技术资源，帮助研究人类和地质历史。 学生的活动和资源都集中在15个当地的研究地点，代表了东南部七个五大地貌区域的典型特色景观。 该项目教育教师使用这些材料，并为其他州的潜在地图开发人员提供机会，以了解课程，并接受培训和援助，以定制材料， 转移到他们的国家。 这些材料以硬拷贝和光盘形式分发。

9452842 Wagner The Maps and Aerial Photographic Systems (MAPS) curriculum is based on a resource package developed in South Carolina to provide middle school students with instructional materials and related cartographic products to investigate the interrelationships among geology, land use, history, cultural diversity and environmental concerns. The South Carolina model is broadened to include the Southeast and the materials reflect the emphases of the current national curriculum initiatives and standards in science and geography. The materials use infrared aerial photographs, Landsat satellite images, state-based maps, topographic maps and soil maps as technological resources to help study human and geological history. The student activities and resources are keyed to 15 local study sites representing characteristic landscapes typical of the seven five major landform regions in the Southeast. The project educates teachers to use the materials and provides opportunities for potential al MAPS developers in other states to learn about the curriculum and receive training and assistance to customize the materials for transfer to their states. The materials are disseminated in hard copy and CDROM.
