What To Expect in Year 11 Geography
At Tutor Wombat, we escort students on a geographic expedition to explore the multi-faceted dynamics between humans and their environments in Year 11 Geography. Our program is tailored to provide a holistic understanding of natural, ecological, and urban challenges, ensuring students can navigate through the complex webs of interrelations that define our world. The curriculum dives into two crucial units, each offering a unique lens to scrutinize the evolving landscapes of our planet.
Natural and Ecological Hazards
This unit propels students into the realm of natural and ecological hazards, shedding light on their potential to inflict harm on human life, livelihoods, and both the natural and built environments. Students will engage in risk management strategies encompassing prevention, mitigation, and preparedness to combat these hazards effectively.
- Understanding Hazards: Dive into an overview of natural (atmospheric, hydrological, geomorphic) and ecological hazards, understanding their nature and impacts. Explore the concept of risk associated with these hazards and delve into the temporal and spatial distribution of these hazards on a global scale.
- Geographical Inquiry and Skills: Formulate geographic inquiry questions, plan inquiries with a defined aim and methodology, and collect information from various primary and secondary sources. Analyze geographical information to draw reasoned conclusions, identify trends, and communicate findings through appropriate written, oral, cartographic, and graphic forms.
- Depth Study of a Natural Hazard: Select a natural hazard and investigate its nature, causes, magnitude, frequency, spatial distribution, and impacts, comparing its effects in developed and developing regions. Examine sustainable risk management policies designed to mitigate the impacts of the hazard.
- Depth Study of an Ecological Hazard: Choose an ecological hazard for a thorough investigation, exploring its nature, causes, diffusion, spatial distribution, and impacts. Unveil sustainable risk management strategies aimed at reducing the hazards’ impacts.
Sustainable Places
Unit 2 transitions the focus towards the sustainability of places, examining how economic, social, and environmental processes influence urban and rural areas. Students will dissect the challenges faced by these places due to urbanisation and demographic changes, and investigate how different stakeholders, including governments and communities, work towards ensuring sustainability and liveability.
- Understanding Places and Challenges: Examine the process of urbanisation, its implications for population growth, human wellbeing, and the challenges it presents to both urban and rural places. Explore the spatial distribution of various places in Australia and delve into the challenges faced by rural, remote, metropolitan, and regional areas.
- Geographical Inquiry and Skills: Similar to Unit 1, students will engage in formulating geographic inquiries, collecting and analysing data, and communicating their findings effectively.
- Depth Study of Challenges Facing a Place in Australia: Investigate significant challenges faced by a selected place in Australia, exploring the nature, scope, and strategies employed to address these challenges. Assess how these strategies have enhanced the sustainability and liveability of the place.
- Depth Study of Challenges Facing a Megacity in a Developing Country: Delve into the challenges encountered by a megacity in a developing country, examining the nature, scope, and strategies employed to tackle these challenges. Assess the effectiveness of these strategies in enhancing the sustainability and liveability of the megacity.
