Abstract

The lab is designed to be engaging, using a place students know to introduce them to a concept, and then letting them take the concept and apply it to the watershed I want them to discover. We define the concept of watershed and let them discover that our campus has two watersheds. We use the satellite imagery to let them see that the campus is part of the greater Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay watersheds.
