We shall not cease from explorationAnd the end of all our exploringWill be to arrive where we started
And know this place for the first time.
為什么學地理
探索我們所處的自然環境,研究人文現象的地理分布,由此提升對世界的認知。
或者借用Syllabus中的話——To be inspired by the splendour of natural environments and human ingenuity;To have the integrity to uphold ethical principles and be resilient in their pursuit for a better world.
Tropical Environments:Physical processes, landscapes and issues
Theme 2
Development, Economy and Environment
Theme 3 Sustainable Development: Climate change and energy, sustainable urban development
Theme 4 Geographical Investigation
Geographical Investigation可以說是最激動人心的部分啦。
記得開學第一節地理課老師讓我們在校園里隨便轉,發現自己感興趣的地理問題,在下課前craft a research question;去年我們去了Bishan-AMK Park評估flood risk,還在學校的小花園測infiltration rate,今年三月假期要去馬來西亞,羨煞別的科目的一眾小伙伴。
