The Nature of Geography (Themes) PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES It is expected that students will: apply the following geography themes to relevant issues: o location (position on the earth`s surface) o place (the physical and human characteristics that make a location unique) o movement (the varied patterns in the movement of life forms, ideas, and materials) o regions (basic units of study that define an area with certain human and physical characteristics) o human and physical interaction (the way humans depend on, adapt to, and modify the environment) describe the applications of geography to present and future careers explain how an understanding of geographic knowledge, skills, and attitudes can assist in daily decision making The Nature of Geography (Systems) PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES It is expected that students will: identify the physical components of the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere describe the major interactions among the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere identify the social, economic, cultural, and political components of human systems explain how physical and human systems interact within an ecosystem The Nature of Geography (Skills) PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES It is expected that students will: interpret classroom and field data by applying concepts of scale, area, distance, gradient, direction, grid references, topographic profiles, contour lines, and map symbols demonstrate an ability to access, interpret, and present geographic information using topographic maps, aerial and satellite images, photographs, charts, diagrams, graphs, and tables describe the application of current computer technologies to a relevant geographic issue Systems of the Earth (Weather) PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES It is expected that students will: describe the composition and significance of the layers of the atmosphere describe the principal factors affecting temperature, precipitation, pressure, and wind analyse patterns of distribution of temperature, precipitation, pressure, and wind explain the atmospheric conditions that create extreme weather phenomena evaluate how people affect and are affected by weather Systems of the Earth (Climate) PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES It is expected that students will: explain how climatic controls affect climate compare the distribution and characteristics of climatic regions describe how climate influences the nature and distribution of major world biomes evaluate how climate affects human activity evaluate how human activity affects climate, including ozone depletion, global warming, and acid rain Systems of the Earth (Tectonic Processes) PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES It is expected that students will: describe the features and processes associated with plate tectonics, including volcanism, earthquakes, and folding and faulting explain how various local and global landforms have resulted from tectonic processes assess the effects of tectonic processes on cultural, economic, political, and social activities Systems of the Earth (Graduation Processes) PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES It is expected that students will: describe the landforms associated with weathering and mass wasting assess the effects of weathering and mass wasting on human activity describe the features and processes of erosion and deposition associated with water and ice, including groundwater, rivers, oceans, and alpine and continental glaciation assess the effects of water and ice on human activity Resources of the Earth (Nature of Resources) PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES It is expected that students will: describe the characteristics of renewable and non-renewable resources explain contemporary concepts of sustainability explain how concepts of sustainability vary with time and place assess the consequences of the uneven distribution of: o fresh water o a non-renewable resource o a renewable resource other than fresh water Resources of the Earth (Management of Resources) PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES It is expected that students will: contrast the different ethics related to resource management and use explain how conditions within a biome can affect resource management evaluate the interrelationships of the four spheres as they apply to a local and global resource-management issue Resources of the Earth (Sustainability of Resources) PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES It is expected that students will: assess the compatibility of human activities and population growth with concepts of sustainability identify how bias, data availability, and data interpretation affect the evaluation of resource sustainability analyse factors that make proposed resource-management solutions challenging to implement develop and defend a thesis relating to the sustainability of a resource
