Concepts of Geographic Thinking: Geographic Perspective, Interrelationships, Patterns and Trends, Spatial Significance

Inquiry: What might be needed to ensure that the next mass extinction does not take place?

Activity: Gather data on what factors may contribute to a species mass extinction. Understand how human activity may contribute to the 6th mass extinction. Gather data on what Governments and other stakeholders views regarding this mass extinction. Complete an issue analysis and create a spatial journal of the facts and views. Determine a plan action and communicate via story map.

Concept of Thinking: Interrelationships, Patterns and Trends, Geographic Perspective

Inquiry: How might  this pattern of recovery continue? How might other species at risk be able to recover as well?

Activity: Gather data on other species that may need help recovering. Collect data on human activity that might have an impact on species in different regions of Canada. Create a spatial journal to highlight the possible interaction. Conduct an issue analysis to develop an action plan that can be communicated via story map.
