Exploring Geography: Its Impact on Human Life and Development

This educational activity encourages students to explore five key themes of geography through inquiry-based learning. Students will answer questions related to location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and region. They will evaluate true or false statements about human evolution and migration, engage with the concept of Pangaea, and consider how geographic and environmental factors have shaped human life. Ultimately, through investigation at designated stations, students will produce a magazine article addressing how geography, climate, and natural factors influence human societies.

  5. Inquiry Chart • Using the inquiry chart you will answer questions about human evolution using the evidence provided to you in the stations.

  6. Stations • You must stay at your station until told to switch. • When at the computer do not open up other pages/leave the timeline. • Do not wander around the classroom. • Do not talk to other groups. • You must be on task while at the station. You will not get a chance to go back to it.

  7. Using the inquiry chart, write a magazine article to a new Social Studies magazine answering the following question: How do geography, climate and other natural factors affect human life?
