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

Inquiry: What are the climatic conditions that that allow for the transmission from mosquito to humans? What is where?  Where on Earth are these conditions found? Why there? How might the transmission of the Zika virus be stopped? If it can't be stopped how might transmission be reduced Why care?

Activity: Create a spatial journal or story map show when and where (places) the virus has spread to view this exemplar. Determine which other places (spatial significance) around the world have similar climatic conditions (interrelationships) where the virus may flourish and locate them on the map. Make some observations to determine patterns and trends to help the medical industry reduce infection rates. compare with an industry map.
