HOME Arts Health Language Arts ... Glossary Alaska Geography Standards A-C A student should be able to make and use maps, globes and graphs to gather, analyze, and report spatial (geographic) information. A student who meets this standard should: Primary level (ages 5 to 7) Activities Level 1 (ages 8 to 10) Activities (1) be able to use maps and globes to locate places and regions; Construct personal experience maps; i.e., dresser drawer, bedroom, story, classroom, playground, neighborhood, community, indicating knowledge of left, right and cardinal directions. State the grid coordinates of features near the school using a local street or road map. (2) be able to make maps, globes and graphs; Use a neighborhood map to pinpoint students' homes and graph how many live on each bus route, street, etc. Draw a map of school, home neighborhood, community, and state. (3) understand how and why maps are changing documents; Compare maps of the school site, pre- and post-construction.

What should geographically informed students be able to do? At what age? Way back in 1994 the Geography Education Standards Project got geographers and educators to agree on these and other questions that define how geography can be taught, learned, and applied so that each student has "Geography for Life." A concise summary of their recommendations follows below. The 272 page color illustrated Geography For Life book is available for $9 from the: National Council of Geographic Education 206-A Martin Hall Jacksonville State Univresity 700 Pelham Road North Jacksonville, AL 36265-1602 An internet discussion group about the standards is available.

Department of Geography /Physical Geography This Page: New Physical Lab Research Related Sites: 2004 Binghamton Symposium New!!! Physical Program Description and Courses Graduate Study at UK Faculty: Jonathan Philips Alice Turkington Sean Campbell Physical Geography at the University of Kentucky Faculty (see seperate links) include Sean Campbell, Dan Marion (adjunct), Jonathan Phillips, and Alice Turkington. Turkington specializes in weathering processes, urban environments, cultural stone decay and conservation, and arid environments, and is also interested in analogs between small-scale weathering features and landscape evolution. Phillips' experience and expertise lies in fluvial, soil and coastal geomorphology, pedology, hydrology, and applications of nonlinear dynamical systems theory in the geosciences. Campbell's major research interests are in landscape geochemistry, hydrology, weathering, and the geomorphology of high-latitude environments. Marion, an adjunct professor who is a research hydrologist with the USDA Forest Service, Southern Research Station, specializes in fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, and forest ecosystems. The core physical geography faculty are also supported by other faculty with related interests. These include Michael Kennedy (GIS, GPS), Dick Gilbreath (cartography), Hilary Lambert (adjunct; environmental geography), and Lynn Phillips (adjunct; environmental planning).

Earth Science Week Science Standards For Submitting Lesson Plans Please select the appropriate standard(s) for your lesson, using the following guidelines. K - 4 Geography Choosing an educational standard and associating it with a resource signifies that the content of the resource supports student learning and attainment of the specific ability noted. This can be through many different mechanisms and resource types, including access to background, text-based material. Some standards are general in nature, hence the lesson need not address the entire scope of the standard to be eligible for these data. Additional, more detailed information on the specific concepts included in each standard is available for each grade level grouping, K-4 , and (courtesy SRI International ) to assist in making appropriate choices. Please choose from the lists below. You can copy-paste the appropriate ones into your Word document.
