MCCORMACK CATHOLIC COLLEGE SOCIAL SCIENCE YEAR 10 GEOGRAPHY EXTENSION PROGRAM 2018 OVERVIEW: In Year 10 Humanities and Social Sciences consists of Civics and Citizenship, Economics and Business, Geography and History. In Year 10, students will study these on a rotational basis spending 8 weeks on each topic with a specialist teacher during Terms 1-3. In Term 4, all students will study the History World War Two topic. Students develop increasing independence in critical thinking and skill application, which includes questioning, researching, analysing, evaluating, communicating and reflecting. They apply these skills to investigate events, developments, issues and phenomena, both historical and contemporary. In Geography, the concepts of , , environment, , sustainability and continue to be developed as a way of thinking, through an applied focus on the management of and the geography of at the full range of scales, from to global and in a range of locations. WEEK WA CURRICULUM CONTENT DESCRIPTION LESSON TOPICS ASSESSMENT 1 Coastal environments as the context for a comparative study of an environmental for Australia and one other country: The causes and likely consequences of environmental investigated () Students to analyse how the coast is used in Australia and other locations. Students to explain the coastal processes of erosion and deposition and evaluate role as a cause of environmental change in coastal environments. Students to explain how Constructive and destructive waves operate to create environmental change. 2 Coastal environments as the context for a comparative study of an environmental for Australia and one other country: The causes and likely consequences of environmental being investigated () Students should be able to Explain how headlands and bays are formed using diagrams and detailed descriptions Explain the differences in rates of erosion in areas of hard and soft rock Explain the refraction of waves as they enter a bay Explain how the process of deposition forms beaches in a bay Draw and explain how caves, arches, stacks and stumps are formed in a coastal landscape Describe and explain the 4 of erosion (attrition, abrasion, hydraulic action and corrosion) Explain what types of erosion occur to form the erosional
features they have studied so far Explain and draw the process that results in wave cut notches, wave cut platforms and cliff retreats Evaluate the consequences of continued erosion on coastlines 3 Coastal environments as the context for a comparative study of an environmental for Australia and one other country: The causes and likely consequences of environmental being investigated () Students should be able to: Explain the process of deposition at the coast Draw and explain the process of longshore drift Explain how spits and tombolos are formed Draw a photo sketch from a photograph using annotations Evaluate the consequences of continued deposition on coastlines 4 The strategies to manage the environmental investigated () The application of environmental, economic and social criteria in evaluating management responses to the being investigated () Students to understand the concept of coastal erosion and how it relates to the triple bottom line and sustainability. Students should be able to able to: Compare and contrast hard engineering and soft engineering solutions draw and explain how the following hard engineering solutions work – sea walls, gabions, rip rap, groynes, wooden revetments draw and explain how the following soft engineering solutions work – beach nourishment, “do nothing”, dune regeneration, managed retreat ASSESSMENT: Coastal Fieldwork 5 The human-induced environmental changes that challenge sustainability (e.g. water and atmospheric pollution, degradation of land, inland and coastal aquatic environments) () The environmental worldviews of people and their implications for environmental management () Students are to be able to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of all the coastal protection methods they have studied. Students will attempt to come up with their own coastal protection invention and present to the class considering challenges to sustainability and viewpoints of all stakeholders in their environmental management of the coast. 6 The different ways of measuring and mapping and , and how can be Students should be able to:
