1. The world and me

2. The study of the world, its people, and the interactions between the two.(geography word) The word derives from the Greek words gê ("the Earth") and graphein ("to write", as in "to describe"). (geography world) Geography is more than memorizing names and places. Geographers organize space in much the same way that historians organize time.

3. To help organize space, geographers are concerned with asking three important questions about things in the world: 1) Where is it? 2) Why is it there? 3) What are the consequences of its being there?

4. The five themes of geography help answer these questions: Location: Where is it located? Place: What's it like there? Human/Environment Interaction: What is the relationship between humans and their environment Movement: How and why are places connected with one another? Regions: How and why is one area similar to another? No one theme can be understood without the others. The themes are connected with one another

5. The physical and human characteristics of a place provide keys to understanding the relationship between people and their environments. Humans depend on the environment: for basic needs Humans modify the environment: to meet their needs Humans adapt to the environment

6. Discuss answers to these questions about the human/environment interaction where you live: What examples of human/environment interaction do you see in your area? Do you see evidence of exploited resources? Do you see changes in the landscape in animal habitats? Are there changes in the air, water, and soil?
