Geography
Concepts for developing understanding
The content in the geography sub-strand provides opportunities to develop students' understanding of place, space, environment, interconnection and change. Students explore the diverse environments, peoples and cultures within the Asia region and at a global level (space, place, environment) and expand their mental map of the world. Students examine Australia's various connections with other countries and places throughout the world, how these are changing, and the effects of these interconnections (interconnections, change).
Inquiry Questions
- How do places, people and cultures differ across the world?
- What are Australia's global connections between people and places?
- How do people's connections to places affect their perception of them?
