__**Geography**__ Geography enables the students to see, understand and appreciate the web of relationships between people, places, and environments. Students will use the knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts within the six essential elements of geography: world in spatial terms, places and regions, physical systems, human systems, environment and society, and the uses of geography. 5.3.01 Understand how to use maps, globes, and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to acquire, process and report information from a spatial perspective. 5.3.02 Recognize the interaction between human and physical systems around the world. 5.3.03 Demonstrate how to identify and locate major physical and political features on globes and maps.
