- 2. How GIS is used in school:
1. Using GIS as a tool to investigate topics
2. Developing the use of GIS tools within the
curriculum
3. Developing an awareness of what GIS is
4. Developing an awareness of how GIS can be used to
solve problems.

- 5. Map skills with KS3
Locational knowledge
Measurement
Adding data to a map from a variety of sources:
Layers from ready made layers, from web such as USGS EQ csv files
Files
Primary data collected
Point, line and polygon data
Symbolising
Data collection using collector App
Interpolating data
Hotspot analysis
Spatial analysis
- 6. Microclimate and wifi/mobile phone coverage
investigations
Collecting data using ESRI’s Arc Collector App and then
analysing data using spatial analysis tools to investigate
patterns
- 8. Y9 Airplane task
Airplane incident investigation
This task looks at deciding where to divert a plane following an incident. It
uses simple GIS tools of plotting data, doing a buffer search then a filter search.
Time is of the essence in this type of event so shows the ability to handle large
sets of data quickly. This idea came from pupils asking to do something about
an event in the news.
- 10. Y10 Polio Challenge Task
GIS was used within this Y10 enrichment day activity along with other
tools to find the best way to transport Polio vaccines to remote areas
under controlled conditions. It used buffering, filtering, searching by
attributes and measuring.
- 11. Y12 flood risk mapping in Worcester:
Collecting data, mapping data and carrying out spatial
analysis including interpolation and hotspot analysis
