Apply spatial analysis, with consultation, to solve a geographic problem
You need to solve a real geographic problem by using spatial data (like maps and information with location information) and data analysis techniques. You'll collect or find spatial data, manipulate it (measure, layer, filter, sort it), and then use these findings to propose and justify a solution. You'll work with your teacher to decide which geospatial techniques to use.
You apply spatial analysis to solve a problem: collect relevant spatial data, manipulate it, explain what you did, and propose a solution.
You effectively apply spatial analysis by collecting sufficient data, performing accurate manipulations with detailed explanations, and justifying your solution by showing why it's better than alternatives.
You comprehensively apply spatial analysis by evaluating your manipulations and providing an in-depth, well-argued justification that demonstrates holistic understanding of why one course of action is clearly better than others.
