IRENE MCCORMACK CATHOLIC COLLEGE SOCIAL SCIENCE YEAR 10 GEOGRAPHY COURSE 2 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 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 TASKS 1 Coastal environments as the context for a comparative of an environmental for Australia and one other country: The causes and likely consequences of environmental being investigated () Students to understand how the coast is used in Australia and other locations. Students to understand the coastal processes of erosion and deposition as a cause of environmental change in coastal environments. Students to understand 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 investigated () Students should be able to Describe how headlands and bays are formed using diagrams Identify the differences in rates of erosion in areas of hard and soft rock Understand the refraction of waves as they enter a bay Explain how the process of deposition forms beaches in a bay Draw and describe how caves, arches, stacks and stumps are formed in a coastal landscape Name and describe the 4 types of erosion (attrition, abrasion, hydraulic action and corrosion) Identify and describe of erosion occur to form the
erosional features they have studied so far Describe and draw the process that results in wave cut notches, wave cut platforms and cliff retreats 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: Describe the process of deposition at the coast Draw and describe the process of longshore drift Decribe how and tombolos are formed Draw a photo sketch from a photograph using some annotations 4 The strategies to manage the environmental being 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: identify the difference between hard engineering and soft engineering solutions draw and describe how the following hard engineering solutions work – sea walls, gabions, rip rap, groynes, wooden revetments draw and describe 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 identify the advantages and disadvantages of all the coastal protection methods they have studied. 6 The different ways of measuring and mapping and , and how these can be applied to measure differences between places () Students should be able to: Define Human Wellbeing and identify factors that contribute to this understand how the happy planet index is measured describe the spatial distribution of happiness around the world
