 Central Question: What is the relationship between species characteristics and physical location?
Guiding Thought Question: What is a particular physical characteristic that would be advantageous for a plant or animal to have to live in the landscape above? Why would that characteristic be beneficial for that species in order to help it survive? Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine the connections that animals have with their physical location and how those can be grouped with species from the same area. Students will examine two rules of ecogeography and then test them to analyze how applicable they are to real-world situations.
 Central Question: How can you learn about a place through the processes of observation?
Guiding Thought Question: What are three characteristics (could be human or natural) that are unique to Nebraska or used as a way of building an identity as connected to the area where Nebraskans live? Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine the Five Themes of Geography and how they can be used to characterize a place, and then practice their observation skills by identifying applications of the five themes in a field environment.
