12GEO

Year 12 Geography (Level 2)

Subject Description

Head of Faculty: Mr B. Coutts.

In Level 2 Geography students build on and expand on skills and conceptual understandings from the previous year. 

Students study in detail the patterns and processes operating in the Tongariro volcanic environment. They also study differences in development with a focus on Tanzania, the global pattern of malaria as a disease and application of ArcGIS software to analyse time patterns in Chicago. 

Field work is an integral part of Geography and students will go to Tongariro National Park and Rangitoto Island to conduct field work for a research intended assessment. Attendance on these field trips are mandatory.  

 

Prerequisites

This subject may be started at Level 2 without having done the Level 1 Geography course. However, a minimum of 12 credits at Level 1 Geography is an advantage.  

 

Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
