What is Geography?
In Unit 1, you will learn to apply some specific geographic skills and tools as you learn about the forces that shape and change Canada, the various natural characteristics and human activities of different regions in Canada, and how all of these interact and help explain why we live where we live in Canada. You will learn some tips on how to read and interpret maps and graphs. You will investigate Canada’s National Park system to gain a deeper understanding of Canada’s differing landscapes and how humans interact with our natural systems. You will conduct an inquiry about the natural characteristics found in your own community or local region.
