Geography

   In your Geography Unit, your learning objectives are; 

1. You can identify and locate the countries of Africa, Asia, and Pacific. 

2. You can locate cities using longitude and latitude, and explain how ocean currents and wind, influence climate. 3. You can compare climate regions of Asia, Africa, and the Pacific, and lastly describe different ecosystems of the world. 

Geography

    First, you'll be learning about how to pin point the continents; North America, South America, Europe, Antartica, Africa, Asia, and Australia, on a map by using longitude and latitude. Then, how to pin point the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Artic Ocean. 

    Your also going to learn about the Compass Rose, and how to use it, as well as Cardinal directions, and Intermediate directions. 

Geography

    Next up is globes. You'll learn what a hemisphere is (A hemisphere is just half of a sphere (circle)). There's the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western hemispheres, four in total.

    After that is the Equator, and Prime Meridian. The equator is an invisible line that divides the Northern and Southern hemispheres. It's also the warmest part of the Earth. The prime meridian is also an invisible line, but instead of dividing the North and South, it divides the Eastern and Western hemispheres.

Geography

    Now we'll move on to Ecosystems. You'll learn about natural resources, like; Vegetation, Animals, Soil, Minerals, Water, E.T.C.

    You will also learn about Renewable resouces; Solar, Water, and Wind. 

And nonrenewable resources; Coal, Oil, Gas, and Fossil Fuels.
