Forum 1.3 - Explaining Nebraska

5/18/2021

8 Comments

 
Picture
Climograph for Omaha, Nebraska
Guiding Inquiry: What is the significance of temperature, precipitation, and altitude in helping to determine the climate characteristics of a region? (3.2.a)

Guiding Thought Question: How would you explain the climate of Omaha to someone who has never been here before? For spring, summer, fall, and winter write generally what someone could expect for temperature and precipitation patterns for each of the seasons. 

Today's Learning Objective: Students will investigate the Koppen Climate Classification system and how it is used to group areas into regions based on their physical characteristics by going through guided instruction on the system and then creating and interpreting a climograph.

Forum 1.2 - It is what you think it is?

5/17/2021

HOMEWORK QUIZ - SOLAR INSOLATION CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING
Guiding Inquiry: How can the geographic theme of "regions" be used to better understand the categorization of ecological areas? (3.2.a)

Guiding Thought Question: Is Nebraska more part of the Midwest or the Great Plains region of the United States? Defend your answer with evidence that supports your assertion (it can be a link to a website). Is the idea of The Great Plains more of a perceptual region or a formal region (definitions below)

     Formal Region: Area with measurable characteristics        (physical or human)

     Perceptual Region: Area's definition depends upon           a places' perceived characteristics.

Today's Learning Objection: Students will learn about the different classifications of regions as they apply to biomes and ecoregions by examining the importance of temperature and precipitation

Forum 1.1 - Identifying Location

5/17/2021

Guiding Inquiry: How does a place's location on the planet affect the climate conditions it will experience throughout the year? (3.1.b)

Guiding Thought Question: Explain the Absolute and Relative location of a place you'd like to go someday without saying the name of it.

     Relative Location: The location as described by the general area where it is, as well as what is around it (ex.                     Nebraska is in the middle of the United States, surrounded by Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, and       Missouri)
     Absolute Location: A specific indicator of where something is located, usually communicated as an address or                 Latitude and Longitude (ex. the Education center at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo is located at 3701 S. 10th Street,           Omaha, NE, 68107 or 41.267324 North and -95.919587 West)
              *To look up coordinates use Latlong.net

Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine the effect the sun's energy has on seasonal variations, and the effect that a place's location will have on the amount of solar insolation it receives throughout the course of the year by completing a map lab and reviewing concepts through direct instruction.
