AdornGEO - I.B. Geography Website

Picture


​Welcome to AdornGEO

The resources on this site are to support learning of the IB Geography syllabus that starts in August 2017. The construction of the website will be ongoing with new units and resources being added as teaching of the new syllabus progresses.

What do we study in DP Geography at NIST?

​You can find the IB Geography Guide here IB Geography Guide
​

The course has a ‘core theme’ that is compulsory for both Standard Level and Higher Level students. Over the two year course at NIST, the ‘core theme’ is sub-divided into
  • Changing Populations
  • Global Climate - Vulnerability and Resilience
  • Global Resource Consumption and Security

The course at NIST also covers the following ‘optional themes’: 
  • Oceans and Coastal Margins
  • Leisure, Tourism, Sport
  • Geophysical Hazards
 
  • Food & Health
  • Urban Environments​​

​Higher Level
students also explore geographical issues and concepts at a deeper level with the unit, Global Interactions. This unit will be divided up and integrated at different stages of the course. The main units of study in Global Interaction are:
  • Power, Place and Networks
  • Human Development and Diversity
  • Global Risk and Resilience

Case Studies

Case studies are a vital component of the study of geography. Students are required to discuss or evaluate in a way that shows conceptual insight into the context of the expected knowledge and understanding. The application of geographic skills allow for the synthesis of knowledge and ideas, and bring understanding of concepts and contexts together through the study of specified or appropriate content.

At NIST most case studies will be focused on the NIST G8 which are 8 countries where most of our case study examples are from. These are high lighted in red tags on the map below. Countries with a blue tag are additional countries where relevant case studies occur. You can click on the map tags to find what area of the geography subject guide is relevant to each country
