Science and Geography (1.2)

8/23/2018

18 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: shape and color
Quantitative: length and weight

Some good Quantitative observations would be the amount of time and the amount of land/organisms you're studying. Some good Qualitative observations would be how something reacted and what it looks like

Quantitative: Population of animals, mass/total amount of the area that an animal or groups of animals inhabit. Qualitative: Types of the species, how they react to the area around them

When conducting biogeographical studies, it might be important to know average annual rainfall, temperature, altitude, and location. These 4 factors are important at determining what animals and plants survive and can be found where.
Qualitative: Location, natural beauty
Quantitative: average annual rainfall, altitude

Qualitative: health (by using the look of the thing like not malnourished or something), types of species
Quantitative: population numbers in a given area, temperature of the area

Quantitative data- how much land is being studied and population
Qualitative data- what species is being studied and what background the species population has
