Over approximately 15 days, students develop a geographic understanding of Canada’s regions, landforms, climate zones, waterways, vegetation, and natural resources. They learn to read and create physical, political, climate, and thematic maps using legends, scale, direction, grid references, and digital mapping tools. Students investigate how geography and access to resources influence settlement patterns, transportation, employment, communities, and ways of life. Learning includes respectful attention to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit relationships with land and the responsibilities associated with resource use. Students use geographic evidence to explain similarities and differences among regions and consider questions related to conservation and sustainability.
