Abstract: In this GIS investigation, students will learn about ‘real-world GIS’ by working through the process of identifying, accessing, manipulating and using spatial data, at the state and local / county scale. This lesson highlights websites for freely available spatial data, and provides tips on digging for data, and downloading and converting various file types. This lesson will be helpful for anyone using GIS data or beginning a GIS project, and especially for those using data from different sources, and those interested in land use and population analysis.
