| Central Question: Where are the planet's arid and semi-arid regions located, and how does their physical location impact the ecosystem? Guiding Thought Question: What perceptions do you have of a desert? Why might those perceptions not be exactly true? Provide an example Today's Learning Objective: Students will discuss issues related to the world's arid and semi-arid regions, and take notes about where and why deserts are located where they are, and what are some particular issues related to deserts. |  |

Well a common perceptions is that all deserts are hot. Which isn't true because Antarctica is a desert and it can be the coldest place on earth sometimes.

The desert is dry... but it still receives precipitation and carries little moisture in some plants

That all deserts are hot and dry and Antarctica is literally the opposite of that also that they are tan and muted colors and Antarctica is white/ blue and some deserts have like green and other colors thrown in

There's only camels that "live" in the desert. There is an entire ecosystem within the desert.

Dry this is not true because plants and animals both can survive in a desert and if it was completely dry then they wouldn’t be able to survive.

Deserts are perceived as always hot, but most get really cold after the sun sets

One of the perceptions that I have about a desert is that it is relatively barren of both plant and animal life compared to a tropical forest. There is life that exists in the deserts such as fenec foxes and scorpions.

Dry, arid, less animals. The dry and arid one is true and the less animals one is true in some instances depending on the type of animal.

When I first think of a desert, I always think of towering sand dunes and little life. But when I stop to think about it I realize that there is actually a lot of life. There are so many bugs, lizards, and other creatures. Most of them are small, which is probably why we think there is so little life. Also, sand dunes are not in every desert.
