  4. MY hamster really likes pizza! M is for Movement • The movement of people, ideas, resources and goods affects our world.As 6th graders, you are new to middle school (you emigrated from elementary school) and you brought with you traditions and culture from your elementary school. • People will move because of push or pull factors. Pilgrims were pulled to America because they wanted religious freedom. You were pushed to middle school because you successfully finished 5th grade and were ready for a bigger challenge. • What helps move ideas today?

  5. My HAMSTER really likes pizza! H is for Human-Environment interaction • Humans adapt to the environment– You have adapted to the environment of middle school by learning to change classes. • Humans modify the environment– In Missouri creeks are widened and deepened to keep homes from flooding. • Humans depend on the environment– We use rivers for transportation of goods. Cities and industries are built near the most advantageous environment. • Why does your family live here?

  6. My hamster REALLY likes pizza! R is for Region • Regions are a group of places with similar physical features, culture traits or governments in common. • The attendance boundary for your middle school creates a region. • Does Arizona create its own region? Or is Arizona part of a larger region? How would you describe it?

  7. My hamster really LIKES pizza! L is for Location • There are two types of location:Absolute location is an exact spot on earth like a latitude and longitude or a street address. Relative location is the location in relation to something else like landmarks, time, direction or distance. For example, the United States is south of Canada and north of Mexico. It is between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. • When would it be appropriate to tell someone where you live using absolute location? Relative Location?

  8. My hamster really likes PIZZA! P is for Place • Place describes what it is like when you get there. Place is what you can see and has two characteristics. • Human characteristicsare ways that man has changed the environment like buildings, roads, clothing and food habits. • Physical characteristicsare mountains, rivers, soil, beaches, wildlife and soil. • What are the human characteristics of our school? What are the physical characteristics of Arizona?
