Oklahoma Academic Standard:  The student will examine Oklahoma’s geography and how people of Oklahoma interact with their environment.

Objective 2.1. Examine Oklahoma’s political and physical features.

C.  Identify Oklahoma’s major landforms and bodies of water on a physical map.

D.  Identify Oklahoma’s major metropolitan centers and cities on a political map.

E.  Describe the climate and various natural vegetation zones found in Oklahoma.

In a Nutshell

Before students can comprehend how people interact with their environment, they must understand the importance of location to physical features, major natural vegetation, and climate zones which impact this interaction. Students should begin to develop understandings of the relationship of population centers to the natural resources that are used by humans for survival and growth. Using multiple types of physical and thematic maps will provide students with a mental map of the physical and human environments within our state as they begin to explore how individuals and groups adapt to and modify their environment.

Teacher Action 

Student Action 

  • Assist students to describe the state’s human and physical environment through the use of geographic representations, including aerial photographs. 

  • Provide opportunities for students to ask and respond to enduring essential questions of common concerns to the student, the community and the state, such as "How do we depend on our environment?"

  • Ask and answer geographic questions, using geographic information about the student’s community and state. 

  • Create and use maps, graphs, and other simple geographic models to describe the physical and human features of the community and state.

  • Describe how the physical environment impacts our daily lives and affects human activities.

Key Concepts 

Misconceptions 

  • basic landforms and bodies of water found within the state of Oklahoma and neighboring states, including definitions and examples

  • physical maps, political maps, thematic maps including climate zones and vegetation regions

  • major metropolitan areas, cities, state capitol 

  • Some students may require frequent support to develop an understanding that the study of the geography of our environment is not merely to identify the place location of certain features, but to make connections between the location of physical features to natural resources that are used by humans.
