Seventh grade students will:
Study Earth from a regional perspective, focusing on the continents. Students will study contemporary places and regions to identify how the experiences of people are rooted in places and organized into geographic regions. Students will learn about Earth’s physical conditions (e.g., climate, soils, vegetation) and how these features interact with Earth’s other features.
Students will focus on human systems, activities, and characteristics (e.g., culture, ethnicity, gender, language, population, religion) that vary across the Earth’s surface. These systems also include distribution of population, movement, settlement patterns, economic systems, and political systems.
Students will explore the interactions between environment and society to learn how human activities modify Earth, how resources are used, and how physical systems, such as climate, present risks to humans.
