Take a Break

Breaks are scientifically proven to aide in mental and physical health. Whether it is a small break from doing a task or a larger week-long break from school, breaks are essential as humans. It has been shown that Spring break can be highly beneficial to students’ and teachers’ mental health because this week of vacation allows for a much-needed mental decompression from demanding school-related stressors (homework, social encounters, deadlines, schedules, grades, etc.).

Video: The Five Themes Of Geography

When geographers look at a 'Place', they want to know what it is like there. Then, when geographers want to know where a place is, they use 'Location' to find it. 'Human Environment Interactions' shows us how places affect people, and how the people living there can affect a place. Geographers also study 'Movement'—the way people, ideas, and goods or things move from place to place. And to study a place more closely, geographers sometimes divide the earth into regions. Studying 'Regions' shows us how places are alike, and how they are different from each other. Join five enthusiastic students in their high-tech 'Social Studies Lab' to learn about these five themes of geography. Visit locations around the world to understand how geographers study the the earth and the people who live here.
