Science and Geography (1.2)

8/23/2018

23 Comments

 
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: What kind of flora is around, what kind of landmarks are around
Quantitative: How many feet/meters/some sort of measurement it is from something, how many organisms are there

Two quantitative data examples are population size and temperature.
Two quantitative data examples are climate and behavior.

two quantitive data types would be increase in population and an average life span for an animal in an area. a qualitive data type would be behaviors / reactions to changes in the environment and were animals migrate to during certain times.

Qualitive: changes in behavior and decrease in number of animals

Quantitative: May be measurement like feet/inches/centimeters, or a certain amount of something like 20 students. Qualitative: May be the color of something, or even the texture.

Qualitative could be 1. Access to nourishing food regarding soil composition (bad soil could limit amount of accessible food). 2. Air quality limiting amount of animals that are able to survive in a polluted area.

Quantitative: 1. Amount of animals in a certain area. 2. Amount of plants in a certain area.
