June Bugs

This lesson explores the geographic patterns that emerge when mapping data related to doctor selection and June bug populations. Students will prioritize their list of doctors based on accessibility and reasons, then plot the locations on a map, analyzing the spatial distribution. The lesson also discusses the importance of mapping data in synthesizing large datasets into actionable insights and encourages students to consider various factors beyond distance when choosing a healthcare provider. Additionally, students will brainstorm data that can be mapped for Newark High School and create a plan for data collection.

Presentation Transcript

  1. June Bugs • Lesson Essential Question – • What geographic patterns emerge when you map data? • What can analyzing the data tell about the map? • Vocabulary Accessibility –

  2. June Bugs Step 1

  3. Alex’s List

  4. Chris’ List

  5. June Bugs Step 2 • Consider the following question: • Which doctor would be your best choice? If that doctor wasn't available, which one would be your next best choice? • Label your list of doctors in priority order (1= best and 10=worst) And Explain your reasoning

  6. June Bugs Step 3 • On a copy of the map, locate the office of each doctor on your list and place a solid dot on the appropriate point on the map

  7. June Bugs Step 3 • Now you are able to examine the problem of choosing a doctor geographically. This means you must look at the spatial (geographical) distribution of the dots and the relative location of Dewey Beach to the doctors. • What other factors besides straight line-distance should you consider? • What other information might you need?

  8. How is Mapping Data Useful? • One map can display all the information in a large database in a form that is easy to interpret and use. • Data can only be mapped if there is information included about location.

  9. Classwork • Think of some data that could be mapped relating to Newark High School. • Create a plan in which you could collect that data and map it out.
