This document introduces the study of geography by outlining three learning objectives: to understand what geography involves, to distinguish between physical, human, and environmental geography, and to classify different topics into these categories. It then presents a series of photographs and asks the reader to consider how they relate to geography. Finally, it provides a list of topics for the reader to categorize as physical, human, or environmental geography and asks if any could fall into multiple categories.

Editor's Notes
- So, what is geography? Is it learning about the physical environment? Describe.
- Or is it learning about the human environment? Describe
- What about the current issues affecting us? Describe
- Geography is all of this, and so much more. Geography is about the study of the earth’s surface, the living things on it and the interaction between them. We are inextricably linked to our environment, and each other. The broad nature of geography allows pupils to explore issues that are interesting to them and learn more about THEIR world. Geography gives pupils the chance to understand and challenge the world they live in.
- These headlines provide some examples of current issues related to population change and resources. Thought-provoking headlines such as these make geography relevant and interesting. These are real issues and real people that pupils learn about.
