Geography
Geography is the study of the environment as the home of people. It seeks to interpret the world and how it changes over time – past, present, and future. It explores the relationships and connections between people and both natural and cultural environments. Geography investigates the ways in which features are arranged on the earth’s surface. It describes and explains the patterns and processes that create them. |
In Geography students will gain knowledge, skills and experience to:
Level 1 Understand that natural and cultural environments have particular characteristics and how environments are shaped by processes that create spatial patterns. Understand how people interact with natural and cultural environments and that this interaction has consequences.
Level 2 Understand how the processes that shape natural and cultural environments change over time, vary in scale and from place to place, and create spatial patterns. Understand how people’s perceptions of and interactions with natural and cultural environments differ and have changed over time.
Level 3 Understand how interacting processes shape natural and cultural environments, occur at different rates and on different scales, and create spatial variations. Understand how people’s diverse values and perceptions influence the environmental, social, and economic decisions and responses that they make
