Geography in Grade 7 explores Earth’s landforms, climates, populations, and resources. Through inquiry learning, students ask questions about maps, regions, and human–environment interaction while testing ideas with projects and data analysis. Instead of only memorizing place names, they investigate how geography shapes culture, trade, and daily life. Activities such as map reading, field studies, and group research make the subject practical and engaging. By connecting physical and human patterns, Geography becomes a way to understand the world, solve problems, and appreciate global diversity.
