Grade 7 Geography Bundle (Strand A and B)

In this bundle, I have added the Grade 7 Strand A: Physical Patterns in a Changing World and Strand B: Natural Resources Around Units. These lessons were made as a resource for my students for the virtual learning environment. Each lesson is was created with Ontario Social Studies- Geography curriculum in mind.

Strand A ~ Lesson Overview:

Lesson # 1 ~ What is Geography?

In this lesson, we will learn why geography is an important subject to study. We will explore the concepts of geographic thinking and describe the geographic inquiry process. 

Lesson # 2 ~ Types of Landforms

In this lesson, we will learn about landforms.  We will explore how these landforms were created and how they continue to change.

Lesson # 3 ~ Creation of Landforms

In this lesson, we will learn about the creation of landforms found in various locations around the world.  We will explore how landforms have changed over time.

Lesson # 4 ~ Challenges Caused by Earth's Forces

In this lesson, we will explore the challenges that we face as a result of the Earth’s forces in our natural environment. We will learn about the location of earthquakes and volcanoes on the surface of the Earth, as well as, how we prepare for disasters should they occur. 

Lesson # 5 ~ Climate Patterns

In this lesson, we will explore patterns of climate in various regions of the world.  We will identify how climate change has impacted various natural landforms' features.  We will create a climate graph and compare its results with other locations around the world. 

Lesson # 5 ~ Natural Vegetation

In this lesson, we will explore patterns in the world’s vegetation.  We will be able to describe how nature and humans have caused changes to these patterns.  As a result of these changes, we can become more aware of how our impact is felt on the natural environment.

Lesson # 7 ~ Rivers and Oceans

In this lesson, we will explore the characteristics of water systems.  We will learn about how natural forces and people change these natural water systems.

Strand B ~ Lesson Overview:

Lesson # 1 ~ Natural Resources
In this lesson, we will explore different types of natural resources, the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources, and the importance of sustainability.

Lesson # 2 ~ Supplying Demand
In this lesson, we will identify factors that affect the use and value of natural resources.  We will also explore how human activity impacts people and the environment. 

Lesson # 3 ~ Renewable Resources
In this lesson, we will explore the relationship between Earth’s environment and renewable resources.  We will identify the environmental and social impacts of misusing and overusing these resources.  

Lesson # 4 ~ Non-Renewable Resources
In this lesson, we will explore some of the ways in which people use non-renewable resources to meet their needs and wants. We will identify how these resources impact the environment and its relationship to the Earth. 

Lesson # 5 ~ Flow Resources
In this lesson, we will explore flow resources. We will be able to explain the connections between these resources and Earth’s physical features.

Lesson # 6 ~ How are we addressing our use of natural resources?
In this lesson, we will explore various strategies that are currently being used to address the increasing demand globally for natural resources.
