Ragged Island

• Ragged Island is a wild life maintenance area
  across the James River Bridge that many people go
  all year around to fish and hunt. This year the
  Booker T. 6th grade team of the blue crabs
  visited it throughout the year to collect
  information and study it.

Job

• The My World group job it to walk the perimeter
  the island with a GLX system (shown on the next
  slide) and collect information with a GPS and a
  weather sensor. This information is used to make
  all the maps for the different groups you see
  today.

GLX System

• The GLX is a data collector we use to collect
  information about the Ragged island. On a GLX you
  can hook up different data collectors like a
  weather sensor that collects data like
  temperature and humidity. We used the weather
  sensor at Ragged Island, we also used a GPS
  system you hook up the GLX that records latitude,
  longitude and speed. We used the latitude and
  longitude line to make the map that you see
  today.

The map

• To make the maps you see today took a lot of
  work. We had to walk about a mile and a half
  around Ragged Island collecting data with our
  GLX. We then saved it onto a memory stick and
  hooked it up into the computer where it copied
  all the information. This information is used to
  make the map.
