Science and Geography (1.2)

8/23/2018

Central Question: What are the major theories associated with Biogeography? What Scientists came up with those theories? How are they connected to the geographic study of plants and animals? Why might past scientific studies be important to the geographical distribution of plants and animals?

Guiding Thought Question: What types of quantitative and qualitative data might be helpful when conducting biogeographical studies? List 2 quantitative and 2 qualitative characteristics.

Quantitative - Related to a quantity, can be numerically represented
Qualitative - Related to a quality, looking at non-numerical characteristics

Today's Learning Objective: Students will be able to explain the scientific basis and philosophical understanding that form the foundations of biogeography and how scientific studies can be incorporated in.

Qualitative-geographic location, physical similarities/anatomical characteristics
Quantitative-DNA match similarity, amount of the species

Qualitative- how many babies born
Quantitative- animal behavior

Quantitative- How many are there in the wild, how many are being reproduced
Qualitative- what colors are majority of them, what gender are being born the most

For quantitative there is the number of animals in an area and how they amount changes over time. For qualitative is the affect on the land and how the animals adapt to the land.

that things keep splitting, and it affects the number of the species and the plants

for quantitative,it shows the number that exist over time and how the number decrees or increase. for Qualitative the changes that happen to the groups and how that changes over time.

Quantitative: The timeline of earth. The temperature in certain areas.

Qualitative: What the other flora and fauna were. The habitat and how it changes.

Data, Studies for Quantitative
Observations, Surveying for Qualitative

Quantitative: 1. How many of certain types of animals are in a certain area.
2. The percent difference between two different kinds of animals.

Qualitative: 1. The different characteristics of each animal.
2. The characteristics that helps the animals servive.

Quantitative data may be how many there are of a certain animal

Qualitative how they look or gender

Two quantitative characteristics would be population and migration time. Two qualitative would be sex and temperature.

Quantitative- # of animals in a specific area
# of years the animals live
Qualitative- where in the world are the animals
The bone structure of the animals

For quantitative, you could measure how long it took in time for creatures to migrate and how far they traveled.

For qualitative, you could see what size the animals were and how that changed as they evolved. You could also see their colors.

Quantitative data like how large the population the is in a certain area/ how many of that animal are in a specific group, and how much of its prey/ food source is in the area with it or around it are helpful for biogeographical studies. For qualitative date, knowing the skeletal structure of the animals (fossils and present skeletons), and diverse diets of the animal.

Quantitative
1. population
2. distribution
Qualitative
1. Gender
2. colors

There are many different things to consider when conducting biogeographical studies. Specifically for animals, qualitative data may include abilities (whether or not the animal can fly, swim, etc.), and gender. Qualitative data may include population and amount of offspring.

1. Quantitative: Population of the animals in a certain area, the amount of food in the area
2. Qualitative: the main gender being born and the changes to the habitat

Some types of qualitative data that may be useful would be the coloring of an animal, how they gather their food, or their location.
One could use data on the amount of how many are dying each year and their use of space in square feet in small populations. (quantitative)

Jeroeim

Quantitative- The amount of deaths in a certain populated area
Qualitative- Ecology in the area

Hannah

8/22/2018 09:14:10 am

Quantitative- how many species in that location, reproduction
Qualitative- colors of skin/fur, land adaptation

Kinlee

8/23/2018 12:25:53 pm

Quantitative: amount of animals (population) in the area, amount of food at that location
Qualitative: colors, size of the animal

Jasmine Palmer

Qualitative
What certain animals eat
Travel in packs or alone
Quantitative
Number of population
How many different species in a certain are

Deja'nae

Quantitative: Temperature, # of different animals in area

Qualitative: Climate, Size of animals

Maddy

8/23/2018 12:28:10 pm

Qualitative- color of skin/fur, land adaptation, types of an animal in an area
Quantitative- number of animals in an ecosystem, the weight of an animal, number of claws on an animals paw.

Quantitative:
1. Population of animals in an area
2. Reproductive amount of species
Qualitative:
1. Adaptive characteristics species gain
2. Gender of the animals

Eliza

Quantitative- Numbers of populations, locations of species (Square miles)

Qualitative- Size of animals (evolution overtime), overall temperature of the area in study and the change from then and now

Takiyah

Quanitative: Like how many of a certain species are in a place
The amount of resources in a certain area (like trees)

Qualitative: The look of the trees like if their healthy or if the plant is moving like the location. The look of the birds and its evolution depending on where it lives.

Rylee

quantitative: the number of animals in either a population or its area
Qualitative: colors, gender

eliana

Quantitatve= the number of species in one loction
Qualitative= the quality of the of the species so thing like colors, size, and fur

Bailey

Quantitative- population, reproduction
Qualitative- Color, bone shape
