In this study interpretation were tried and evaluated effects in junior and senior high schools' regular classes based on textbook curriculums. It includes greenbelt coverage ratio analysis and heat island analysis using infrared image of satellite data.
5 interpretation themes related textbooks contents of junior and senior high schools' social studies, science and information studies and satellite data are used around each school for; (1) Finding green area around our school with infrared satellite images, (2) Looking at temperature distribution around our school with satellite images, (3) Looking at landform around our school with 3D satellite images and topographical maps, (4) Finding fault lines around our school with satellite images and (5) Looking at land use change around our school with satellite images.
These interpretation were carried out in a private junior high school; KEIO Futsubu school. Students were asked what they were interested in and disinterested in, and reasons in questioner researches. More than 60% students answered they were interested in each themes. Reasons were categorized these 5 items; a) They were originally interested in the theme, b) They learned new knowledge, c) Results of interpretation were different from their hypotheses, d) Interpretation made them interested in, e) Interpretation itself were interesting. It was cleared that testing hypotheses with interpretation made students more attractive.
The ways of providing satellite image to each junior and senior high schools all over the country were also discussed. Though web GIS should be used in PC rooms with high speed internet, desktop GIS software may be used with low speed internet using GIS data downloaded by teachers before lecture. These desktop GIS software may be used; Quantum GIS, free software and Chizu Taro, well used. Preprinted screen image of web GIS may be used in regular classroom without PC. They can make interpretation whether they have PC rooms with high speed internet or not in these ways.
