| 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. |  |

when i hear desert, my mind usually thinks of red sand dunes with dry shrubs and very hot.

A dry, liveless place with nothing but sand. There are multiple deserts, like arctic deserts and coastal deserts. They also have a lot of wildlife and plant species.

Deserts are typically dry and have very few trees. It might not be true because there can be deserts by rivers.

When I think of a desert I think of a dry open space with sand. Also very hot with some dangerous animals like Rattle Snakes. They may not be true because in this picture I see grass and water.

I just think of deserts as hot completely flat with nothing but sand and some animals. That may not be true because there is grass in that photo and also hills.

When I think of a dessert I think of a dry extremely hot area that has barely any life. This may not be true because desserts can also be cold and have greens

When I think of desert, I think of open, hot, dry land with little precipitation. The plants are spiky and the animals are dangerous. This may not be true because it has snowed in deserts in the past.

Deserts are a vast landscape with nothing but sand or snow(depends on the desert) with dangerous animals and drastic temps. and weather.

They are really dry and hot. That isn’t true all the time because it can get pretty cold at night.

I picture a desert being hot, dry, and sunny. But cold deserts also exist.

When I think of a desert I think of a very desolate, empty, dry land. This might not be true because there's actually a decent amount of organisms living there

When I think of the desert I think of a dry area, very large and empty, little to no water. This is false because there are many organisms that live in the desert and there is water in some places in deserts.

I think of a hot, arid place that doesn't get much rainfall and is full of reptiles. The Arctic is a desert and it is cold, covered in snow, and has more mammals.

I think of a dessert as a really dry place and just sand not much life, but I know that it is more than that

I think of a desert as a flat environment that stays the same climate year round

I think of deserts as really hot and dry spaces all the time, but at night they can get pretty cold.

Low to no precipitated, soil without a lot of nutrients, low biodiversity. It might not be true because there are very diverse ecosystems around the world.

I thinks of the plants that live in the desert. Leave a Reply. |
