Curricular Competency
Use geographic inquiry processes and geographic literacy skills to ask questions; gather, interpret, and analyze data and ideas from a variety of sources and spatial/temporal scales; and communicate findings and decisions (evidence and interpretation)
Elaboration
  • Sample activities:
    • Undertake a field site visit to compare and contrast different plant communities.
    • Use topographic maps to understand modern terrain patterns associated with historical events (e.g., glaciation).
    • Use satellite imagery of cloud cover to look at atmospheric circulation patterns.
    • Use GIS to map flood potential.
    • Use air photos to view mountainous environments in order to examine life zones and hydrological patterns and processes.
    • Use regional weather charts to explain current and near future local weather conditions.
    • Develop an understanding of the concept of spatial scale by examining an issue at three scales (e.g., how is a changing climate impacting local water use, regional precipitation patterns, and global distribution of moisture?).
