Physical Geography For Teachers

The basic content of this course is quite similar to GEO 130 Physical Geography, with emphasis on atmospheric processes of weather and climate, and terrestrial processes of landscape formation and alteration. The human element, in terms of impacts on the environment and the converse impact through pollution and natural hazards, presents a common theme throughout the class. The primary focus in this course, however, is in developing effective teaching techniques for levels K-12 by fostering an understanding of material, a knowledge of resource materials, and experience in applying physical geography to situations outside the classroom. Open to senior education majors and practicing instructors. Lecture, ten hours per week for four weeks.
