Mrs. Naugle, World Geography

Our first test is coming up this Friday and next Monday.  Please make sure that you study.  If you misplaced your study guide, check out the Handouts/Notes/Study Guides from my website to get a new copy. 

 

Also, I will be holding a special review session Friday and Monday morning for any student who wants some additional help before the test.  Good luck!!

 

What questions do you have about the review or the test?  Leave your questions in the comments section.

We are just wrapping up a major set of lessons over climate and ecosystems.  Students used PowerPoint and Excel to build their own climographs which show a city's precipitation and temperature for each month during the year.  We analyzed them to determine where on the globe they are located and compared the graphs with a table to determine the type of climate found in different cities.  Finally, we compared those climographs to the ecosystem so that students can learn about the relationship between climate and ecosystems.

 

 

Today we used Google Earth to explore some of the earth's famous landforms such as Mt. Fuji in Japan and the Nile River in Egypt.  Students used the program to zoom in on the landform and describe what physical process created each one.  They also got to play around and check out their house, the school and other locations that interested them.

 

• Ask your child what places they looked at on Google Earth
• Ask them to tell you how certain landforms are created such as canyons, mountains, and deltas
