Welcome to Team 6A Geography!

We have a magnificent school year ahead of us and I eagerly look forward to sharing in your sixth grade experience.

Together, as a community of learners, we will develop and strengthen our geography skills and beyond!


What is geography you might ask?

Geography is the answer to the question that the earliest humans asked, "What is over there?." Exploration and the discovery of new places, new cultures and new ideas have always been a basic components of geography.

Today, geography is commonly divided into two major branches - 1) cultural geography (also called human geography) and 2) physical geography.

Cultural geography is the branch of geography dealing with human culture and its impact on the earth. Cultural geographers study languages, religion, foods, building styles, urban areas, agriculture, transportation systems, politics, economies, population and demographics, and more.

Physical geography is the branch of geography dealing with the natural features of the earth. Physical geography looks at the water, air, animals, and land of the planet. Physical geography is closely related to geology, but physical geography focuses more on the landscapes at the surface of the earth and not what is inside our planet.



Well now that you know a little more about geography, feel free to browse around the site and learn a little more about me and our class this year.
