Homework:
There is no homework today.


There are numerous definitions of geography and many misconceptions. Geography is not just the memorization of place names and it is not just map making though both of these activities most certainly are important. Students often try to grasp at a definition using a familiar stem, "geography is the study of ..." and insert such descriptors as landscapes, mountains, climates, rivers, and people among others. While a definition of this field of study no doubt includes such subject matter, it is essential for the student to understand geography's unique way of studying the world. Geography for Life defines the two major perspectives of geography as the spatial and ecological perspectives. These are complemented by the historical and economic perspectives.
One can discover definitions of the field of geography in every social studies or geography textbook. However, the following definitions are anonymous responses from participants at the Geography Summit II which was held at Southwest Texas State University in 1996 and collected by Dr. Ed Fernald of the Florida Geographic Alliance. Geography is:
a social science that focuses on the spatial distribution of human and physical phenomena;
the study of the physical world, its inhabitants, the interaction between the two, and the patterns and systems involved;
the world and all that is in it;
the study of pattern and processes asociated with the earth;
the study of relationships between humans and their environment by emphasizing a spatial and environmental perspective at a variety of scales;
a spatial discipline---it is a perspective that seeks to understand patterns on Earth and the processes that created them;
the study of humans interacting with their environment including the physical environment, the built environment and socially constructed spaces; and
a spatial perspective of all human and physical phenomena. A student can readily see that the word “spatial” appears in these definitions or is implied in all of them. Geography is concerned with where and why things are located as they are. It is concerned with the patterns of phenomena and the processes that created them. Therefore there is no special or specific subject matter which it studies, but rather its subject matter is Earth, described and explained using the spatial perspective. History is somewhat similar because its subject matter is Earth in the historical perspective.
Geography is often described as two parts which make up a whole. That is, geography is dichotomized into:
Regional Geography, and
Topical, or Systematic, Geography. Regional geography focuses on areas of Earth space that have some degree of homogeneity. Regions may be basically physical, human or some combination of both and may vary in size from continents to small ecosystems.
Topical geography considers systematic studies of climate, landforms, economics, and culture among others. Geographers may specialize and call themselves, for example, urban geographers, climatologists, political geographers, biogeographers, and historical geographers. One thing in common to all of them is their focus on the spatial perspective in their studies. They see their subject matter in terms of locational characteristics and seek answers to certain patterns of place or the interactions between places
By the end of the 7th grade course in geography, students should be able to see and understand the world using the “geographic eye” or, in other words, the spatial perspective. This perspective will enable them to understand why location is an important variable in such activities as buying a house, locating a business, understanding an historical event, and planning for the future. It will help them understand the ripples of the global economy as well as the climatic influences of the el Nino. Geography, indeed, has survival value and furthers good citizenship among our students.

Physics is the scientific study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other.
This energy can take the form of motion, light, electricity, radiation, gravity . . . just about anything, honestly. Physics deals with matter on scales ranging from sub-atomic particles (i.e. the particles that make up the atom and the particles that make up those particles) to stars and even entire galaxies.
How Physics Works
As an experimental science, physics utilizes the scientific method to formulate and test hypotheses that are based on observation of the natural world. The goal of physics is to use the results of these experiments to formulate scientific laws, usually expressed in the language of mathematics, which can then be used to predict other phenomena.
The Role of Physics in Science
In a broader sense, physics can be seen as the most fundamental of the natural sciences. Chemistry, for example, can be viewed as a complex application of physics, as it focuses on the interaction of energy and matter in chemical systems. We also know that biology is, at its heart, an application of chemical properties in living things, which means that it is also, ultimately, ruled by the physical laws.
Because physics covers so much area, it is divided into several specific fields of study, such as electronics, quantum physics, astronomy, and biophysics.

1)7 ÷ xNone of these — It is not clear what ÷ means between 7 and x.
2)a + b – c Expression — It is an expression since it means to add b to a and to subtract c from that sum.
3)24 = 3a + 9bEquation — Here we have two expressions set equal to one another. Note that one of those expressions is an integer.
4)3x Term — This is a product of a constant and variable.
5)24x2y + 5z = 12acEquation — Here we have two expressions set equal to one another. One of those expressions is a single term, 12ac.
6)–156xwzTerm — This is the product of a number, –156, and several variables, x, w, and z.

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses mathematical statements to describe relationships between things that vary over time.
Algebraic Terms
The basic unit of an algebraic expression is a term. In general, a term is either a number or a product of a number and one or more variables.
Algebraic Expressions
An expression is a meaningful collection of numbers, variables, and signs, positive or negative, of operations that must make mathematical and logical sense.
Algebraic Equations
An equation is a mathematical statement that two expressions are equal.

The end!


Quotes:
1)A man's life is interesting primarily when he has failed--I well know.For it's a sign that he tried to surpass himself.
2)Failure teaches success.
3)Disappointments are to the soul what thunderstorms are to the air.
