In class today, we spent a great deal of time thinking and talking about the components of social studies. I shared that there are five 'themes,' or categories, of social studies. They are: History, Geography, Political Science, Economics, and Behavioral Science. In the form of a group activity, we defined these five terms. I compiled the definitions recorded by all six periods and came up with the following:
History: The study of all recorded events from the past .
Geography: The study of Earth and its processes along with the ways in which people interact with it.
Political Science: The study of the principles and conduct of government and politics.
Economics: The study of trade, money, and building a country’s strength by trade and industry, as well as the distribution and consumption of goods and wealth.
Behavioral Science: The study of people and the way they behave mentally and socially, as well as their interactions with others.

what does it mean by the study of earth and it procsses along with with the ways in which people interact with it? [geography]
I love that you two were bold and tried this tonight. Belinda, I think your confusion probably comes from the use of the word 'processes.' By processes, we are talking about topics such as: earthquakes, weather patterns, volcanic eruptions, and plate tectonics. There are more, those are just a few. I will make sure to address this in class tomorrow. Thanks again!
