Geography Return to Courses of Study Table Geography is the study of the physical earth and our human interaction with it. Besides discovering the absolute wonder and diversity of the physical earth, a knowledge of how the planet functions will hopefully engender, in students, a greater sense of respect and responsibility. The five themes of geography: location, place, human/ environment interactions, movement and regions, are used as a framework for the teaching of geography. Grade 7 Patterns in Physical Geography This course begins with an overview of the five themes of geography. Students then study physical patterns found in landforms, climate, vegetation and river systems. The course concludes with an examination of how humans interact with the resources of their environment. Grade 8 Patterns in Human Geography This course begins with patterns in human geography such as population distribution and how human activities are affected by these patterns. Students then study economic systems and Canada’s relationship to the global community. The course concludes with an examination of migration and the factors affecting human mobility. CGC1D1 Geography of Canada This course utilizes the principles of physical, human, and economic geography, to explore Canada's distinct and evolving character. Students will examine the components of natural and human systems, as they interact and influence one another withing the context of Canadian ecozones and the global community. (The Applied curriculum for this course will be taught, and an Applied credit issued (CGC2P1), based on the circumstances of individual students.)

An Outline of American Geography MAP CHAPTER 2 THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT T he dominant topographic features of the United States tend to extend north-south across the country ( Map 2 : 36K). The interior of the country is a vast, sprawling lowland that stretches from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border and then on to Alaska. Geographers with an interest in landform development place this expanse of flat land and gently rolling hills in three different physiographic regionsthe Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains, the interior lowland (which some split into the Great Plains and the interior plains), and the Canadian Shield. The Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains reach north along the east coast of the United States as far as the southern margins of New England. Underlying this area are beds of young, soft, easily eroded rock deposited in recent geologic time as shallow seas lapped back and forth across the land. These low plains extend well out under the ocean surface to form a continental shelf, which in places extends as much as 400 kilometers beyond the shore. Northward, the interior lowland, although noticeably hillier than the coastal plains, has almost no rough terrain. This region is like a saucer, turned up at the edges and covered with a deep series of sedimentary rocks. These sedimentary beds are generally quite flat; most topographic variation is the result of local erosion or, in the North, of glacial debris deposited during the Ice Age.

Course Purpose: Geography is both a physical science and a social science discipline which analyzes the earth spatially. This course will therefore spatially survey the patterns and processes of the earth's four "spheres": the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. It will provide you with a basic framework with which you can begin a systematic understanding of the physical earth as a habitat for all living organisms . Instruction and evaluation will focus on a systematic understanding of concepts and their interrelationships, rather than on memorizing facts and specifics. Course Objectives: At the end of the course, students should be able to: understand how maps are basically made, their advantages and limitations, and purposes; and demonstrate a knowledge of and an ability to interpret and use a wide variety of maps. understand what the sun and the earth's energy systems do to the earth and its living organisms, how they do it, and where they do it.

Society and policy-makers do not usually notice those changes unless they menace us directlyyet we ignore these changes at our peril. In this introductory course we will examine causes and potential effects of both long- and short-term climatic changes and the interactions of climate and human agents of change. Some of the topics addressed in this course may include the 'greenhouse effect,' the ozone hole, atmospheric aspects of acid rain, El Nino phenomenon, and effects of volcanic dust and airborne pollutants. The format is a combination of lectures, class discussion, films and guest speakers, and hands-on simulation exercises. Open to all classes. Dist: SCI. Grigg(winter 02) Conkey .(winer 03) 31.

Unit Two: Studying Africa through the Social Studies Module Six: The Geography of Africa Teacher's Edition Introduction to Module Six: Africa and Its Geography PURPOSE: Geography is a subject that "bridges" the natural sciences and the social sciences (which in school we refer to as the social studies) in the study of the physical, or natural, and human dimensions of the world. Geography is the study of the interconnection between people, places, and the environment. Geographers have identified five important themes in the study of geography. This lesson will introduce these themes with special reference to the study of the geography of Africa. 1. Location and spatial relations: The surface of our world, land and water, mountains and plains, oceans and lakes, is a defined space called earth. Earth can be divided into smaller spaces defined as continents, or divided further still into political units that are called countries, states, or even cities and villages. All human beings live, work, and play at specific locations that are called districts, villages, cities, countries, and continents. Geographers believe that every place where people live, work, play, etc. is shaped by that place's location in relationship to other places. Geographers use the term spatial relations when they study the impact of location on human activities.
