What to do with my geography~

Geography is a compulsory course for middle school students to recognize the geographic environment, form geographic skills and the concept of sustainable development. China has positioned the overall goal of the junior high school geography course as follows: through the study of junior high school geography course, to understand the basic knowledge about the earth and maps, world geography, Chinese geography and local geography, and to understand the environment and development issues; to acquire basic geography skills as well as the ability to learn geography; to enable students to have a preliminary geographic scientific literacy and humanistic literacy, to cultivate patriotism, and to form a preliminary sense of global awareness and the concept of sustainable development. The concept of sustainable development. Therefore, geography is very important to improve the comprehensive quality of secondary school students, it is necessary to learn geography.

Geography is a science that studies the geographic environment and the interrelationship between human activities and the geographic environment. Geography's research object, determines it has two outstanding features: first, comprehensive. Up to the cosmic space, down to the Earth's interior, and we live in human society, these are important parts of the geographic environment, also belong to the scope of geography. Therefore, we say that geography is a comprehensive science with the dual nature of natural science and social science. Second, geography. Different regions have different geographical environments. Geography is the study of geographic environment differences, distribution patterns and their causes.

In addition, geography also has a strong practicality. Geography is closely related to people's lives, we can observe many interesting geographic phenomena in life, and learn a lot of useful geographic knowledge in life; in turn, we can also use the theory of geography to guide our practical activities.

Not only that geography occupies an important position in modern science, but also plays an important role in solving the problems of population, resources, environment and development faced by the world today. Since geography is so important, how can we learn it well? Some students think that geography is not difficult, the key is good memory, as long as the rote memorization on the line; there are students who think that geography class is meaningless, in addition to memorization or memorization. In fact, not, the development and change of the geographical environment is a law, the relationship between human activities and the geographical environment is also a law can be found, geography also has its own unique learning methods and skills. As long as we master these learning methods and techniques, we will learn both simple and interesting.

I. Cultivate spatial concepts and learn the correct way to read and use maps.

The wide variety and huge number of maps is a prominent feature of geography class differentiated from the curriculum of other disciplines, so it was said, "no map there is no geography." As long as you have mastered the correct way to read maps, cultivate good map habits, and form basic geographic skills, you have mastered the most important tool for learning geography.

First of all, develop a good habit of reading and using maps. You should know that geographic knowledge not only exists in the textbook text, but also contained in the map. In geography learning, we have to do left map right book, pay attention to the use of maps at any time, access to maps, good from the map to find geographic knowledge, looking for geographic laws. Long-term persistence, you will be able to do in the eyes of the word, the heart of the map, words and images organically combined together to form a correct spatial imagination.

Secondly, to master the correct method of map reading. Read the map should pay attention to the sequence, first look at the map name, legend, scale and direction, know the main content of the map performance, scope, and so on, and then observe the specific content of the map. Observation should be careful and comprehensive, do not miss every information.

Example 1: On the "latitude and longitude network map" we observe the following knowledge:

①We can see that there are a lot of lines on the map, of which the line connecting the north and south poles is the meridian, and the line perpendicular to the meridian is the latitudinal line.

② characteristics of the lines of longitude and latitude: all the lines of latitude are circles and parallel to each other; the circle of latitude is long and short, the equator is the longest, gradually shortened to the poles, and finally into a point. All lines of longitude are semicircles; all are equal in length and intersect at the poles.

3 direction: the longitudinal lines indicate the north-south direction, the latitudinal lines indicate the east-west direction.

④ the law of change of latitude and longitude is: east of 0 longitude for the east longitude, west of 0 longitude for the west longitude; from west to east, the degrees of east longitude gradually increase, the degrees of west longitude gradually decrease. Latitude is bounded by the equator, north of which is the northern latitude, south of which is the southern latitude; from north to south, the degrees of northern latitude increase from greater to lesser, and those of southern latitude increase from lesser to greater.

⑤Latitude and longitude grid: determines the location of a point on the earth.

Example 2: The schematic diagram we learned in the class "Forest Resources" is called "Schematic diagram of soil and water conservation in slope protection forest belt". Let's use this diagram as an example and discuss a few of the main steps in reading a schematic diagram.

The first step is to obtain information, which is to obtain the various information shown in the schematic diagram. In the "Schematic diagram of soil and water conservation by slope protection forest belt", we can observe that there are slopes, two forest belts, precipitation and rivers, some arrows of different thicknesses, colors and directions, and "Trace of fresh water into the river" and "Sediment runoff" and "Sediment runoff". "Sediment runoff" and other text.

The second step, analyzing the map, is to analyze the interrelationships between the various pieces of information and content we get in the diagram. In the map we can see: the hillside from top to bottom, the arrow indicating surface runoff from thick to thin, and the color also from dark to light, and finally become "a trace of fresh water into the river". These show that the atmospheric precipitation from the air to the ground in the process, by the forest branches and leaves, dead branches and leaves layer of the blockage, prompting a large number of rainwater infiltration, resulting in surface runoff flow continues to decrease, the sand content is gradually reduced. The slope protection forest reduces the degree of sediment loss, and plays a role in maintaining soil and water on the slope.

The third step, explain the principle, clear schematic illustration of the principle. This "slope protection forest belt to maintain soil and water schematic diagram", explains the forest has the role of water storage, soil and water conservation.

Second, learn to read, master the scientific method of reading.

The geography textbook is an important way for us to acquire geographic knowledge and improve geographic literacy. How can we learn the geographic knowledge of the textbook? We should pay attention to grasp the following points:

1. Read what is in the book

Reading the textbook, the first thing to read, understand what the book said. For example, when the textbook introduces a geographic region, it generally discusses each of the geographic elements that make up the region. Where is the region? What is the natural situation here? What is the economic development situation? What are the problems?

2. Read the knowledge network

The geographic environment is an organic whole, composed of various elements of the geographic environment are mutual constraints, each other, where any one of the geographic elements of the change, may affect the other elements of the change. We should clarify the interrelationships between these geographic elements and form a network of knowledge about this geographic area in our minds.

Example: through the study of world geography, we know that the Antarctic continent, a special continent, where the geographic environment is characterized by different, gale force winds, blizzards, cold is the Antarctic continent's most significant climate features, there is the world's largest continental glacier, plant and animal species are scarce, there is a polar day and night phenomenon, and a beautiful aurora borealis.... ...and so on. And the formation of these geographical characteristics of the most critical factor is due to the Antarctic continent is located in the vast majority of high latitudes south of the Antarctic Circle, many other geographical features are closely linked to this element.

3. Learning to sort out knowledge

①Teaching material for the same type of knowledge of the angle of discussion has a similarity and regularity

Geography textbooks cover a wide range of content, information and other characteristics, but it is the same type of knowledge on the angle of the description of the same type of knowledge and the method, has great similarity and regularity.

For example, to characterize the climate of a country or a region, often from the temperature and precipitation to explain two aspects. The temperature includes the average annual temperature, the annual temperature difference and the distribution of temperature and so on; precipitation is mainly composed of annual precipitation, the spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation.

In addition to this, we can also compare and contrast countries or regions with more obvious differences or similarities.

②Compare and contrast countries or regions with significant differences or similarities

There are significant differences or similarities between the geography or geographic elements of different countries and regions. We can then study according to this, using a comparative approach to compare differences and find similarities. For example, we can use this method when we study India and Brazil, Japan and Britain, the south and north of China, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, Africa and South America.

Example: China's southern region and the northern region, whether in the natural conditions, economic development or in the habits of life are obvious differences, if we use the method of comparison to generalize and summarize, then the southern region and the northern region of the differences between the many will be clear at a glance.

Northern Regions Wheat Peanuts Beets Apples <

Pears Coal, oil Iron Pasta Horse-drawn carriages Ice-skating

Southern region Rice Oil rape Sugar cane Citrus

Banananas Hydroelectricity Non-ferrous metals Rice Boats Swimming

Dragon boat racing

We need to not only identify the differences between two regions or two countries, but also to think about how these differences are formed. These differences between the southern region of China and the northern region are mainly due to the differences in the natural environment caused by the different geographical locations.

We not only find the differences by comparing and contrasting, we can also find the similarities, such as India and Brazil, two countries, although located in different continents, but they are similar in many ways, using the method of comparative induction, we can be able to the two countries of the main geographical features of the knowledge of the two countries to be sorted out clearly.

India and Brazil are both located in the tropical sea countries; terrain to the plains and plateaus; high-quality iron ore resources; are the world's leading producer and exporter of tropical cash crops; in recent years, the electronics industry and the information industry has been the rapid development of the developing countries are more industrialized countries.

Three, cultivate geographic thinking ability

Cultivate geographic thinking ability, is an important goal of the junior high school geography course, it is very important for secondary school students to learn geography.

Composition of the geographic environment of the elements are interconnected, cause and effect of each other, the development of any geographic things are not caused by a single factor, but by a variety of factors **** with the role caused. However, among these many geographic factors, one or two play a key role. We should learn to identify this key factor and use it as a clue to link the other elements, so as to correctly understand the intrinsic connection between the geographic elements.

Middle school geography focuses mainly on regional geography. Generally speaking, the most important factor affecting the geographic characteristics of a region is the geographic location of the region (that is, we often talk about location factors), which has been clearly shown in the sequence of the content of the textbook. At the same time, in the discussion of each region, the first thing that is raised is also the geographical location of the place, in which hemisphere? What latitude? What is the position of land and sea? What are the neighboring countries? And so on. So when you think about the problem, you should grasp the geographical location of the place, as a breakthrough, to analyze the characteristics of other geographical elements.

On the geographical location affects the natural environment, the most representative region is the northwest of China. Compared with other parts of China, the northwest region has many unique geographical features. Such as deserts are widely distributed, sparsely populated, surface vegetation to grasslands, deserts, rivers and lakes are mostly inland rivers and inland lakes, plants and animals have obvious drought-resistant features, agricultural production is dominated by animal husbandry, irrigated agriculture is well developed ...... and so on, these phenomena arise as a direct result of the continental climate here is significant, precipitation is scarce, and the cause of the Scarce precipitation, arid climate is the root cause of the geographic location of the "deep inland". Of course, the "topographic isolation" also plays an important role in the arid climate of the Northwest Territories.

Not all the formation of regional geographic features are geographic location as the main factor, the formation of some regional geographic features is the formation of other factors play a more important role, the Tibetan Plateau is a typical example. The Tibetan Plateau in China is a special region. It is special because of its high altitude. As we all know, the Tibetan Plateau is the highest plateau in the world. The higher altitude brings distinctive low temperatures and strong sunshine here, which leads to a series of changes in other geographic elements.

Diagram: due to the "high ground" resulting in a cold climate, so that the Tibetan plateau snowy peaks, snow glaciers are widely spread, and become the birthplace of large rivers and streams; due to the cold climate, this place to the cold-hardy meadow grassland is dominated by; agriculture to the river valley agriculture and alpine animal husbandry as a special feature; the plateau on the widespread distribution of the three major livestock is the cold-resistant and hypoxia-resistant Tibetan sheep. The three major livestock widely distributed on the plateau are the cold-resistant and hypoxia-resistant Tibetan sheep, Tibetan goats and Tibetan yaks; due to the harsh climate, this is the least densely populated area in China, and the transportation is also relatively backward; however, there are abundant solar energy resources and geothermal resources; the exotic snowy plateau scenery and the unique geographic environment have made this place a tourist attraction and a base for scientific research in China.

Four, learn the scientific method of memorization

Many students reflect "geography is not difficult to learn, is not good to remember". Indeed, the textbook has a lot of place names, data, products, to memorize them is not easy. At this time, we should, first of all, distinguish between the requirements of these geographic things in the standard, is it necessary to remember, or can remember can not remember, or as long as the understanding does not have to memorize? After clarifying this issue, we can then come back to discuss the method of memorization.

1. timely review, repeat memory

How to remember and fast and accurate, is something we are more concerned about. In fact, the best way to overcome forgetfulness and strengthen memory is to repeat, which is also determined by the human physiological structure. The content of the day learned the same day review, a week to 10 days or so and then review again, and then review again in two months, which is very effective in consolidating memory. Students think about it, this is not also exactly and teachers, the school arranged unit testing, midterm or final exam cycle is coincident, consistent.

2. Mobilizing the senses to enhance memory

From a psychological point of view, by a variety of senses (eyes, ears, ears, oral recitation, handwriting, brain) to participate in the learning activities, the memory effect is the best. These senses are eyes, ears, mouth, hands and brain. In learning, should read as much as possible, think, say and do and combine them together is an effective method of memorization.

For example, when reading a map, not only observing the map, but also sketching and scribbling with colored pens as needed.

Africa's climate zones distribution map "can be the tropical desert climate zone with a red pen coloring, the savannah climate zone with a yellow pen coloring, the tropical rainforest climate zone with a green pen coloring and so on. Another example is in "China's annual precipitation distribution map" on the > 1600 mm, 1600 ~ 800 mm, 800 ~ 400 mm, 400 ~ 200 mm and 200 ~ 50 mm of different precipitation in different colors, then the distribution of African climate features and the distribution of China's annual precipitation distribution pattern of knowledge will be be y imprinted in your mind. This way the memory is certainly profound.

3. Appropriate association, fun memory

Students in the study of geography in addition to the repetition of memory, sensory memory, but also can give full play to their imagination and creativity, the use of association, understanding to enhance memory.

For example, it is also an effective way to memorize some geographic things that are not closely related to each other by making them into catchy phrases or sentences.

South Asia includes eight countries:

South Asia eight countries, the sea S and Ma,

Inland Sini not, the sea Bengal India and Pakistan.

In the study of China's political map, memorize the outline of China's provinces and districts, students can play their own imagination to visualize the memory, the image of Heilongjiang as a beautiful swan, Guangdong, like the head of an elephant, and Taiwan Province is like a leaf is sailing to the motherland embrace of the canoe ...... and so on, so that the effect of memory is also better.

In addition, when studying geography, we can use our own experience and feelings in life to learn and comprehend knowledge and strengthen memory. For example, for the physical characteristics of the three major races, we can be based on their own observation of the TV, the pictures of people of different skin color, it will be easier to say their skin color, hair, face and other characteristics. For others, such as the main reason why a large number of people from rural areas have moved to the cities and the social problems caused by rapid population growth, we should not memorize them, but rather, we should memorize them with understanding based on our experiences and feelings about life.

4. Grasp the connection, understand and memorize

The elements of the geographic environment are interacting with each other, which determines that there is an inevitable inner connection between geographic knowledge. As long as we understand the connection between the knowledge, and grasp these links, even if the knowledge is a thousand things, we will memorize a clear. On the contrary, lapping up rote memorization, on the one hand, the knowledge can not be integrated, flexible application; on the other hand, it is also easy to lose three pull four, memorized the back forget the front. Geography knowledge is complex and complicated. Learn to seize the link between knowledge to memorize for us to learn geography has a great benefit.

For example: about Japan, the textbook is a lot of content, so much knowledge alone by mechanical memory is not, should find the link between knowledge and knowledge to memorize, but what kind of connection between these rich and diverse content, we can not memorize according to these links? The students in front of the TV can try with me:

Japan is located in the eastern part of Asia in the Pacific Ocean, an archipelago of countries, this geographic location determines the climate of Japan is an oceanic monsoon climate, oceanic monsoon climate precipitation, coupled with the country's narrow, mountainous and hilly topography, so that the river is short, rich in hydroelectric resources; in the humid climatic conditions, the mountainous and hilly areas Distributed in the humid climate conditions, mountainous and hilly areas with extensive forests; Japan's mineral resources are poor, but the use of the coastline is curved, more good harbors, the conditions of convenient sea transportation, a large number of imports of industrial raw materials and fuels, due to the narrow domestic market, a large number of industrial products need to be exported, so the industrial concentration in the more good harbors of the Pacific Ocean coast and the Seto Inland Sea coast; archipelagic countries near the sea is rich in fishery resources, Japan's fishery industry is well developed. Like this is not better to remember some of it?

5. Seize the similarities and differences, compare and contrast memory

Seize the differences and similarities between geographic things to memorize is also an effective way to remember. For example, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are our two famous rivers, and they are different in many ways, so it is more appropriate to memorize knowledge about the Yangtze River and the Yellow River by using the method of comparison.

If you design a table to compare the Yangtze River and the Yellow River when you study or review them, it will surely help you memorize them.

Example: Comparison of the hydrological characteristics and utilization of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River

River name Length Watershed Hydrological characteristics Flow through provinces and districts Injecting into the ocean Flow rate Flood season Ice age Development and utilization

The Yangtze River

The Yellow River

Fifth, study geography in life, learn geography that is useful to life

To learn geography well, you not only need to learn To learn geography well, we not only need to learn the book knowledge and master the basic knowledge and basic skills, but also pay special attention to contact with the actual production and life, learn geography in life, learn geography useful to life. We will learn the book knowledge applied to social production and practical activities, so that the knowledge used in practice to consolidate and deepen, but also to enhance your interest in learning geography.

In the students' daily life, there are many geographic problems; at the same time, many hot issues in today's society, such as population, resources, environment, sustainable development, etc., is also closely related to the geographic environment. We need to have a pair of eyes that are good at observing and a mind that is diligent in thinking, pay attention to observing geographical phenomena in life, be good at discovering geographical problems around us, and use the geographic knowledge we have learned to guide our own life in practice, to explain the geographical phenomena in our lives; by exploring the geographical problems in our lives, we will learn more geographic knowledge.

1. Pay attention to the observation of geographic phenomena, learning geographic knowledge in life.

For example, celestial observation. We know that the moon sometimes looks like a disk, and sometimes it takes the shape of a crescent. We can personally observe how the phases of the moon change, and what is the pattern of change; of course, interested students can further explore the reasons for the changes in the moon's phases. On a clear night, we can also watch what constellations are in the sky. Where are the Big Dipper, Altair, Vega and Polaris? Where is the Milky Way? Are the constellations above us the same at 8 o'clock in the evening as at 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock?

Then there is weather observation, where we can observe the shape of clouds. What is the difference in the amount of clouds in the sky during the weather conditions described in the textbook, such as sunny, cloudy, and cloudy? What do clouds look like on a rainy day? What kind of cloudy sky appears to make it rain? What kind of clouds appear to signal a sunny day?

Temperature Observations: First, design a table to determine the times of the observations, and then record the temperatures you measure at those times.

Observation time 2 o'clock 8 o'clock 14 o'clock 20 o'clock

Air temperature (℃)

Daily average

Air temperature

Analysis of the measured temperature values: what are the characteristics of the daily variation of the temperature? What is the average daily temperature? Why did the highest temperatures not occur at midday? Do you think the lowest value of temperature in a day occurs at midnight? Do the temperatures you measured agree with those broadcast by the weather station? What factors affected your observations?

2. Use what you have learned about geography to explain phenomena in your life

It is now June, and Shijiazhuang in June is the center of high temperatures in North China, and the weather is dry and hot, why is this? We have learned that every 100 meters above sea level, the temperature drops 0.6 ℃, on the contrary, every 100 meters below sea level, the temperature will rise 0.6 ℃, Shijiazhuang is located in the east of the Taihang Mountains in the North China Plain, from the northwest direction of the air flow in the process of sinking down the eastern slope of the Taihang Mountains to increase the warming process, at the same time the humidity is getting smaller and smaller, the air is getting drier and drier, which makes the process of increasing the temperature of Shijiazhuang is more dry and hot in the early summer.

Careful observation will also find that many of the people's habits have a close relationship with the geographical environment.

Diet: sweet and salty in the south, sour in the east and spicy in the west

Clothing: Tibetan residents are used to wearing Tibetan

Habitat: the northern houses have thick walls and fire kangs in the houses, while the southerners are used to sleeping on wooden or bamboo beds.

And, Japanese people love to eat fish; some countries in the Middle East built their hotels on the roof; the East African plateau out of many excellent middle-distance runners, etc., all of these have geographical reasons.

In our daily life, there are also many proverbs, idioms, poems and so on have a close relationship with geography.

Proverbs:

Cumulus clouds in the sky, rain on the ground - the relationship between clouds and precipitation;

A fall rain, a cold - the relationship between precipitation and cold fronts in the fall;

A spring breeze A burst of warmth - the interrelationship between spring precipitation and warm fronts;

Spring rains are as expensive as oil - a characteristic of China's low spring precipitation.

As in idioms:

Dripping water through stone - the erosive effect of flowing water

Flying sand - the wind-carrying effect in desert areas

Crossing the ocean and changing the land

The earth's crust is in constant motion and change

China's ancient poems also contain many verses related to geography.

The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River are characterized by turbulence and a great difference in water level:

The White Emperor was sent away in the morning, and the colorful clouds were between them;

The Jiangling Mountain was returned in a day.

The sound of apes on both sides of the river can't be heard,

The boat has already crossed ten thousand mountains

China's topography is high in the west and low in the east, and the rivers flow from the west to the east:

To ask how many sorrows you can have,

it looks like the river of spring water flowing to the east.

The phenomenon of uneven population distribution, with the urban population densely concentrated and the rural population sparsely dispersed:

Hundred thousand households in the city, but two or three in this place.

Many of the twenty-four solar terms we are familiar with are also closely related to geography.

Winter solstice and summer solstice - the days of the year when the sun is at its lowest or highest at noon in the northern regions of China

Spring equinox and fall equinox - two days when the global day and night are equidistant, respectively.

May 21 is Xiaoman, as the saying goes, "Xiaoman Daiman rivers are full", which reflects the relationship between the river flood season and the festival. This festival heralds the beginning of the flood season of China's rivers, especially in the south.

June 8 is the Mangseo, a festival that coincides with the best time for harvesting summer grains and sowing autumn grains in the north of China.

Some of the most influential events around the world and in China also have a geographical background and cause.

Timing of the war in Iraq: the war started in March, and the war was basically over in May (after June, the tropical desert region entered a very hot season, and it was difficult for American and British troops living in the temperate zones to adapt to fighting in the hot conditions-emphasizing the geographic reasons for this)

Japan, the Philippines, Algeria earthquakes: where were these countries in mid to late May? Why were there

such frequent earthquakes? (Plate junction zone, frequent crustal activity)

Special long vacation gives us more time to contact various media, watching TV, listening to the radio, surfing the Internet, reading books and newspapers. Of the various media, broadened our horizons and enriched our knowledge. Such as the central and various local television stations broadcast some knowledge, interesting columns such as "Happy Dictionary", "Lucky 52", "Explore and Discover", "Man and Nature", "Global", "Weather Forecast", "Explore the Times", etc., have brought us a wealth of geographic knowledge.

Example 1: Arrange the following festivals in the order of early and late: Cold Snacks, Chongyang, Dragon Boat Festival, Yuanxiao, Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chingming Festival

Example 2: "Qaidam" means:

A. Desert B. Basin C. Salt Marsh D. Oil in the language of the ethnic minorities

This two questions are what we have seen in the recent "Happy Rhetoric" columns. When watching these columns, in addition to being entertained, it is important to relate them to our geography knowledge and learn to use what we have learned about geography to explain some of the phenomena presented in the columns.

3. activities and inquiry

This long vacation, students can also make up for the usual study want to do but do not have time to do a small production, small experiments, but also to explore some of their interest in geography. For example:

1. Drawing the latitude and longitude network on a ping-pong ball

Through this production, we can be more clear about the meaning of latitude and longitude, the interrelationship between latitude and longitude, as well as latitude and longitude in the distribution of the law of the globe, the textbooks in the knowledge to be consolidated.

2. Drawing a floor plan of a home, we learn to design our own legends, label notes, choose appropriate scales, etc.

3. By drawing the floor plan of the living quarters, in-depth understanding of what infrastructure in your neighborhood, what facilities are most closely related to your daily life, what facilities you think are deficient in design, layout and management, what improvements should be made, and what new facilities should be added? And so on. And communicate your ideas and suggestions with the management of the neighborhood.

4. Experience the methods of recognizing directions in life: such as tree crowns, annual rings, and the direction of houses (houses in rural areas generally face north to south, and master bedrooms in buildings in northern cities are generally located in the south).

5. Try to do a geography tabloid

Students can also use their spare time, their interest in geography and geography at home and abroad, as well as the study of geography, edited together, a geography-themed tabloid. When the school year begins, students can communicate with each other and learn from each other.

6. Local Geography Survey

Each of us has a deep affection for our hometown and is familiar with everything in it. The use of our familiar environment to carry out geography activities, to carry out some social investigation activities in geography, not only to help us understand our hometown, but also to deepen our grasp and understanding of the knowledge we have learned.

For example, what are the changes in the water quality of rivers (or lakes or ponds) near our hometown in recent years? What are the reasons for these changes? What is the impact of these changes on the surrounding environment? In order to make the protection of rivers (or lakes, ponds) water quality, prevention and control of pollution to put forward their own suggestions and so on.

We can also be based on their own families, hometowns of the actual situation, do a lot of geography investigation activities. Such as household water use survey, household plastic bag use and waste survey, hometown population flow survey, hometown environment survey and so on.

The learning methods of geography are diverse. Learn geography, must be good at observation, hard thinking, the courage to explore, only usually pay attention to the observation of geographic phenomena, grasp the development of geographic phenomena of the law, in order to continue to accumulate relevant geographic knowledge. Each of us lives on the earth, the geographical environment around us is always changing, but also vivid and interesting. Only by paying attention to the changes in the geographic environment around us, using our own geographic knowledge to explain the geographic phenomena around us, and discovering the laws of geography from the geographic phenomena around us, can we really learn the geography that is useful to our lives, and the geography that is useful to our lifelong development.

I hope that the students will be able to understand the geographic knowledge, live and learn.
