Central Question: What is a biome and what distinguishes one from another?
Guiding Thought Question: Are the biotic or abiotic characteristics of a particular biome more important when trying to understand and explain it? Provide an example to support your argument. Today's Learning Objective: Students will evaluate the characteristics that can be used to identify a biome and their spatial organization around the world. Students will observe a representation of a biome to understand its defining characteristics and then conduct a map quest to better understand the spatial distribution of biomes
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.
