You need to take a real geographic problem, gather spatial data (maps, field observations, or existing datasets) about it, manipulate that data using mapping or analysis tools, and then explain a sensible solution based on what your analysis shows. The key is using spatial tools and evidence to back up your answer to a real-world geography problem that has a location-based component.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Gather spatial data that actually addresses the geographic problem you're solving (either by collecting it yourself in the field or finding it from existing sources)
- ·Manipulate the spatial data using tools like measuring, layering, editing maps, querying, or creating graphs to produce a map or visual layout that shows patterns
- ·Explain a realistic solution to the geographic problem based on what your manipulations revealed
- ·Back up your solution with actual evidence from your maps, data, or analysis (not just opinions)
- ·Use appropriate geospatial techniques and technology to handle and present your spatial data
AAchieved
You collect relevant spatial data, do some manipulation to create a map or visual, and explain a solution that matches your work.
