TASK 1:
As a class brainstorm the term "GEOGRAPHY" (meaning and what will we study).
Create a mind a map on the terms that you associate with the word Georapy.
In the middle of your page, write "Geography" in a bubble.
Around this, write as many topics you think we study in geography as you can think of. Remember what you learnt in primary school.
Share your ideas with a partner and add any ideas you hadn't thought of to your mind map.
We will take it in turns to share one idea each with the class. If you hear anything new, add it to your diagram!

The world around us is made up of a large range of interesting places, people, cultures and environments. Geography is a way of exploring, analysing and understanding this world of ours: especially its people and places.
Geography teaches us all about the world around us. Geography is all about our surrounding environments and the events that are occurring within it.
Studying geography will make us more informed citizens who really understand how the world works.
In essence, geographers investigate the characteristics of places and the relationships between people and places.
TASK 2:
Copy these notes into your workbook. Then as a class watch the following YouTube clips. DISCUSS the importance of Geography.

The features of the world around us (oceans, mountains, earthquakes, etc.).

What people do, such as where they live, how they make money and the effects of human interactions with each other and the planet.
TASK 3:
Write out the definitions for both physical and human.
Choose two coloured pencils; assign one to ‘physical geography’ and the other to ‘human geography’.
Look at each topic you have listed on your diagram and shade it according to which category you think it fits into.
If you are unsure of any, leave them un-coloured for the time being.

earth's systems
The Earth’s Systems are made up of Four Sphere’s which shape, interact and transform the Earth. These four spheres are
Atmosphere
Lithosphere (refer to as Geosphere in video we call it the lithosphere)
Hydrosphere
Biosphere

Cut out and colour the four spheres of the Earth.
Next cut the Earth diagram along the dotted line, being sure to stop cutting the "slices" at the solid border.
Match the Earth's Sphere's with its label and paste in the appropriate space provided.

Place the Earth cut-out over the systems of Earth by lining up the “slices” and pasting it down using the outer border.
Fold back each “slice” and write a description of each Earth’s system that it covers.

On the worksheet below are a range of physical geography images - categorise them into each of the systems, by colour coding. If some overlap, be prepared to explain how.
Challenge - can you also identify each of the examples of physical geography?
