Behavior Objective – Collaboration: We will work with a partner to do our map activity.

Language Objective –

We will read a map to find information.

We will write good notes.

Note TakingCopy this

information onto a piece of lined paper.

As we go through the slides take notes on each topic in its box.

Beginning note takers copy what is on the screen; Advanced note takers take what they read, hear, and see and put it in their own words and drawings.

Human/Environment InteractionWe change the environment and sometime Mother Nature changes it back.   

Humans change their behavior environment to make it more suitable to their needs. We heat our buildings in the winter, and cool them in the summer.

Nature forces living things to adapt biologically to the environment in a region. In southern Utah, the Navajo and the sheep they have raised have adapted to the dry environment.

All places on Earth have advantages and disadvantages for human settlement.

AlaskaHow would the

environment of Alaska change the people who lived there? (biology)

How would the people change the land to live there? (behavior)

environment of Kenya change the people who lived there? (biology)
