In Grade 8 geography, students will learn about Earth’s physical features and progressions as it relates to human settlement patterns and environment around the world. They will focus on human settlement, global development and the quality of life. Students will learn to use new types of maps and graphs, including choropleth maps, scatter graphs, and population pyramids, all in the study of various geographic issues.
There are two strands for Grade 8 Geography:
Global Settlements: Patterns and Sustainability
