Learning Area: Humanities
Geography > LEVEL 7
Learning Area Outcome: I can think critically about the development of physical and human processes and their interrelationship, in space and time, in order to suggest solutions to local and global issues.
Subject Focus: Natural and Human Environment through the Use of Scientific Method and Qualitative and Quantitative Research.
1] I can use aerial photos, maps, the internet, interactive maps and software to locate various key physical and human features of Malta, the Mediterranean, Europe and the wider world.
2] I can use different sources to distinguish between a country, continents and oceans.
3] I can interpret a map showing time zones and describe the connection between the Earth’s rotation and time.
4] I can use the basic mapping skills which include a scale, a legend, compass points and the GPS to plan real journeys.
5] I can use appropriate sources to observe and record local weather.
6] I can read the weather report and forecast of local and foreign places using digital media.
7] I can investigate about the intercultural composition of my local community and/or school community.
8] I can research a case study to describe the characteristics and effects of any one of the following types of natural disasters such as hurricanes, flooding, tsunami, wildfires, sandstorms, avalanches and blizzards.
9] I can account for the presence of fossils in the sedimentary layers of the Maltese rocks.
10] I can recognize rock samples of the five main types of rock of the Maltese Islands, namely Upper Coralline Limestone, Greensands, Blue Clay, Globigerina Limestone and Lower Coralline Limestone.
11] I can describe the main characteristics (porosity, permeability, resistance and colour) of the five main types of rock found in the Maltese Islands.
12] I can explain the use of the rocks of the Maltese Islands.
13] I can describe continental drift and its main effects on the landscape (earthquakes, volcanoes and fold mountains).
14] I can research a case study of an earthquake and of a volcano to illustrate their devastating effects.
15] I can give some reasons why people choose to live in tectonically active zones as well as discuss appropriate strategies to save lives.
16] I can compare the landscape and climate of a hot and a cold desert and the adaptations of vegetation, animals and people to survive this environment.
17] I can explore how people exploit hot and cold deserts for economic use.
