There are two units of study in the Year 10 curriculum for Geography: __**Unit 1: Environmental change and management**__ This unit gives students the opportunity to use their geographical thinking, skills and technological tools to examine some environmental challenges that will affect their future lives, and to how to find out how geography contributes to the understanding and management of these challenges. Students will select one of the following environments as the context for study: Students will undertake a comparative study of examples selected from Australia and at least one other country. Students will collect, select and record relevant geographical data from appropriate primary sources (fieldwork) and secondary sources to investigate the cause and likely consequences of the environmental change being investigated. They will develop and evaluate management responses to the change.
