Welcome Notes About Anthropology About Geography Facilities and Laboratories ... Student Projects Geography Undergraduate Program Geography has a long tradition of integrating the physical, human, and behavioral sciences, thereby providing the liberal arts student with many useful perspectives for intellectual development. Geographers receive training in both the physical and human elements of the field. Human geographers examine settlement patterns, the connections between people and places, and the cultural and economic interdependence of the world system. Human geographers also relate their work to the physical environment and the interaction between human and physical systems. Topics of study include ethnicity, urban dynamics, economic patterns, migration, and the spatial difference between work and residential locations. Physical geographers emphasize the study of weather and climate, landforms, water resources, the impact of the physical environment on human behavior, and how human behavior affects the natural world. Geography also includes the study of cartography, the science and art of mapping. Cartographers design and use maps for spatial analysis, graphic communication, and the management of geographic information databases. Given the spatial orientation of their studies, geographers possess a special understanding of today¹s complex social, economic, and environmental problems. Increasingly, geographic specialists are involved in solving a broad range of economic, social, and environmental problems of global, regional, and local scale.

The 18 standards listed below have been categorized into six essential elements. The World in Spatial Terms The geographically informed person knows and understands: report information from a spatial perspective. Indicators: 1. Learn how to make maps, globes, graphs, etc. 2. Describe characteristics, functions, and applications of maps, globes, and other images. 3. Identify advantages and disadvantages of maps and other images. 4. Identify locations of places, as well as physical and human features. 5. Use mental maps to answer geographic questions. 6. Analyze the spatial organization of people and places on Earth. Places and Regions The geographically informed person knows and understands: Indicators: 1. Describe physical characteristics of a place. 2. Describe human characteristics of a place. 3. Compare characteristics of communities or regions.

Geography Program Geographers examine human interaction with patterns and processes of the earth. It emphasizes the importance of relative location of places and events, the character of regions, and relations between culture and environment. Geography addresses physical, human, cultural and technologic issues. With training in the natural, social sciences, and technologic fields geographers have a wide range of careers in business, government, planning, and teaching. Private companies need geographers for efficient site selection of stores and factories. Geographers work for federal and state agencies, county and city planning departments, and private planning firms. What do Geographers study? There are five thematic areas within geography. Physical Geography.Physical geographers study earth systems and environmental processes, as well as the locational arrangements of each phenomenon and their interactions as physical systems. 2. Human-Environment Interaction. Human-Environment geographers study the interactions between humans and their use of the environment. More specifically, they study the human use, perception, and modification of environments. Many of these issues are covered in our Regional Geography courses. 3. Human Geography. Human geographers study the location and organization of human settlements and activities over earth space. Human geography explores spatial, economic, political/geopolitical, historic, environmental, population, social, cultural, and urban topics and their connections.

Standards-Based Education: Geography Pacific Worlds Education Standards-Based Education "Geography is more than memorizing states and their capitals. Geographic understandings require that students learn the skills and inquiry methods of geographers to observe patterns, associations, relationships, and spatial order. Geography must be learned within the contexts of home, school, community, society, and the work world." Below are listed the content standards as laid out for Hawai‘i Schools (Source: "Social Studies Content Standards"). At the end of each section are identified some tools or ideas for using Pacific Worlds to address these Standards. Use these ideas to apply to the specific standards listed for each category and each grade level. Content Standards, Geography: (taken directly from the Standards booklet) 1.

Teach to the U.S. National Geography Standards with the Boomerang Box! The U.S. National Geography Standards are a set of six basic elements containing eighteen standards that describe the fundamental concepts of geography and their relation to human life and civilization. The National Geography Standards were adopted in 1994 to track students' skills in geography from learning to read a map and interpret geographic information to understanding the patterns of settlement, migration, and trade. All of the materials on the Boomerang Box web site have been designed to be consistent with the National Geography Standards (as well as with the Five Themes of Geography - Location, Place, Movement, Human/Environment, and Region - that were used in developing the National Geography Standards). Thus, by following the Boomerang Box as it travels from port to port, and using the maps, activities, essays, and lesson plans on this web site, you will help your students progress through a set of nationally-recognized standards in geography education. Boomerang Box materials address the Geography Standards in a variety of ways: ELEMENT 1: THE WORLD IN SPATIAL TERMS Standard 1: How to use maps and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective.

ARTICLE ONE WORLD CLASS STANDARDS Geography for the Schools of the United States By JAMES F. MARRAN Geography Education Standards Project and Teacher Emeritus, New Trier High School pdf file WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF NATIONAL EDUCATION STANDARDS IN GEOGRAPHY? An historic change is underway in geographic education with the development of voluntary national standards for what all students should learn at the conclusion of grades four, eight and twelve. These new standards clearly identify what students need to know in order to be able to live and work in successfully fulfilling ways in the twenty-first century. The National Geography Standards published in late October under the title Geography for Life were developed through a broadly based consensus process over a two year period. Teachers parents, school administrators, professional geographers, and teacher-educators as well as people from the business and corporate sect were involved. Support for the project was provided by a grant from the United States Department of Education, The National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Geographic Society. The National Standards are a definition of what students should know and be able to do in geography. Establishing clear standards both raises expectations and lets everyone in the educational establishment know what to aim for. Standards provide an opportunity for goal setting as a means of strengthening geography across the curriculum. Teachers, students, and parents know what is expected for success. Clear standards provide a basis to judge whether students have measured up to a well-defined and rigorous set of expectations about what is important in geography.

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition Pennsylvania Academic Standards for Geography and History By the End of Grade 3 Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition displays over 300 artifacts that have been recovered from the wreck site and carefully conserved. These tell the story of the great ship, and the events that led to its sinking and tragic loss of life. Visitors will experience the majesty of the ship and its accommodations and learn about rich and famous passengers as well as third-class immigrants. Excerpts from various accounts are presented. Visitors will also learn how this event changed public policy about safety on the high seas and how discovery and exploration of the wreck site has influenced our understanding of the tragedy. Concepts in the exhibit correlate to the following benchmarks that students need to acquire by the end of Grade 3, according to the Pennsylvania Academic Standards for Geography and History: 7.1.3 Basic Geography Literacy A. Identify geographic tools and their uses. E. Identify and locate places and regions.
