Geoprocessing applied to spatial and temporal analyses of aquatic ecosystems as a tool in Science Education

Abstract

New technologies are inserted in all aspects of modern human life, and their application in the educational process is a main demand from official educational programs. In the field of Sciences, such strategy is fundamental for a construction on an inquisitive student, which is the basis for the development of an effective learning process. This work develops a geoprocessing technique consisting on the use of satellite images. This will aid K-12 teachers and students in subjects such as Sciences, Biology and Geography to develop skills for environmental analysis aiming at a participatory learning.
