    Description
    Students learn about basic scientific principles of geography such as Earth-Sun relationships, weather, climate, water, plate tectonics, landforms, soil, and the biosphere. Emphasis is on the interrelationships among physical systems and processes and their resulting patterns and distributions. Tools of geographic inquiry are also briefly covered; they may include: maps, remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Optional field trips are offered.
