2. Connections between places

Purpose of this Chapter
To convey implications of current research about brain anatomy & physiology
To show specific ways teachers can help students engage the “brain regions” that do various kinds of spatial thinking

Building Spatial Models
A scientific statement of how we think things might be related in space
Usually involves applying several spatial-thinking skills to different aspects of a big problem
Long-distance connections
Things that happen in 1 part of world can affect other places

Critical Thinking Questions
1. What is the connection Gersmehl makes between the
brain research he presents & teaching Geography?
2. Which of the 8 Modes of Spatial Thinking &/or the 3
Spatio-Temporal Thinking dimensions do you think best
connects to the teaching of U.S. History? Why?
Give an example of an activity.
3. Create a Spatial Model about U.S. History: a statement
about influences across great distances.
