Definition of geography: what exactly is geography?
Geography is the study of the Earth. It is an ancient science which is interested in all aspects of the planet: its shape, its relief and its natural or built landscapes; its climate; its fauna (living animals) and its flora (living plants); its mineral resources such as precious stones, oil or coal; its peoples, their culture; the great movements of the population. If one does not know this science, it is difficult to understand the world around us.
What is the use of geography today?
Geography allows us to understand our planet and its resources better to protect them. In particular, it allows us to identify areas at risk (seismic, volcanic, forestry or erosion problems) and to prevent them.
Geography also helps to better understand the environment by testing the effects of different projects (building a motorway, a dam, etc.) on maps before carrying them out.
Thanks to all these discoveries, scientists and researchers can predict, more or less accurately, depending on the area, the impact of a disaster on our planet (floods, droughts, hurricanes, etc.) and inform us better in advance.
Therefore, it is essential to know the geography of our planet well and teach it to our children and teenagers.
How is geography taught?
Geography is one of the subjects taught in primary school. It is part of the common core of subjects necessary for the proper development of children, for the understanding of the world around them.
In the UK, geography is taught from primary school to secondary school and even at university.
Geography in primary school
Geography classes in primary school deal with comprehensive concepts. The aim is to learn and understand the structure of the Earth (continent, country, region, etc.), islands and oceans. At this time, the child will also acquire their first map reading, skills: finding their bearings on a map, understanding the compass rose and the cardinal points, reading the altitude of peaks, etc.
Geography in secondary school
Geography lessons in secondary school aim to gradually and explicitly build up the relationship to time and space. Your child can study Geography at GCSE or A level. Our GoStudent tutors can help students with coursework, homework or exam preparation for that important Geography GCSE and Geography A level exams.
