Social Studies 8 - 2013/14

Grade 8 Social Studies - World Geography

Students will study the geography of the world, which will be divided into two branches: physical and human. Physical geography is the study of natural features of the surface of the earth, whereas, human geography is the study of people as they have spread across the Earth. Lessons are designed to teach critical thinking, cooperative learning, research proficiency, seamless integration of technology and mastery of geography skills. Using a hands-on project based approach to learning students will use the tools of geography to view, analyze and understand the world around them.
