6. The World in Spatial Terms

October 17, 2006

To understand and appreciate our world, it is important to understand the patterns of organization of the physical and human aspects of our planet. From how landforms define and shape our world to how people adapt to them and sometimes alter them, the relationship between the two defines our planet. In The World in Spatial Terms, students will learn about cartography and technologies such as GIS, GPS and databases that geographers use to help us see the regular and recurring patterns in Earth's physical and human systems. These tools not only help us see and understand the world's patterns, but also help to make our planet a more comprehensible and fascinating place. Part of the multivolume Geography for Students Video Series. Grades 5-9.

5. Places & Regions

October 17, 2006

Earth is a vast, diverse and complicated place, but breaking it down into regions allows us to simplify the whole. In Places & Regions, students will understand the physical and human characteristics that combine to form the areas we create to interpret our planet's complexity. From the Mediterranean Sea Region to the Aral Sea or from the Sun Belt to the Rust Belt, students will explore the ever-evolving natural and cultural features that influence our perceptions of various regions, and reflect on modern issues related to some of the world's most interesting locations. Part of the multivolume Geography for Students Video Series. Grades 5-9.

4. Physical Systems

October 17, 2006

While we exert an influence over our planet, the surface of Earth is constantly being modified and reshaped by geologic forces such as volcanic activity and earthquakes, and other physical processes such as weather and erosion. In Physical Systems, students will explore the nature of our planet's four main physical systems -- the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere -- and discover that what happens in one system has vast repercussions on the others. Part of the multivolume Geography for Students Video Series. Grades 5-9.

3. Human Systems

October 17, 2006

Why do people settle where they do? Why do populations move from one place to another? In Human Systems, students will appreciate the role that the physical characteristics of Earth have played in determining where and how people live, and explore the notion that where and how we live has a huge impact on our planet. Students will learn that "location, location, location" was the main factor that determined settlement patterns of the world's first civilizations, influenced immigration trends and sparked the tremendous growth of cities. Also, students will see that, through the study of demographics, we can better plan for the future and gain a greater understanding of the cultural changes associated with our increasingly globalized world. Part of the multivolume Geography for Students Video Series. Grades 5-9.

2. Geographic Perspectives: The United States of America

October 17, 2006

Imagine that someone from another country has asked you to describe the United States in a single sentence -- not an easy task! However, dividing America into regions and comparing and contrasting them can help explain our nation's unique natural, physical and cultural features. From the Mid-Atlantic to the Midwest, from the Sun Belt to the Southwest and West, the United States is a mosaic of ethnic groups, accents, landscapes and climates. Geographic Perspectives: The United States of America provides students with an in-depth look at the relationship between the physical and human characteristics of our vast and diverse country. Part of the multivolume Geography for Students Video Series. Grades 5-9.

1. Environment & Society

October 17, 2006

The main interaction between environment and society is our reliance on Earth's renewable, nonrenewable and flow resources. In Environment and Society, students will explore how society uses Earth's resources to meet our most basic needs for food, water and shelter, and how those same resources influence how and where we live. Through our use and misuse of technology, students will see how we impact the world around us and conversely, how the forces of the ever-changing Earth shape our lives as well. Students also consider critical environmental issues related to our use of energy resources and learn to appreciate the interconnectedness of Earth's systems.
