Places and Regions 3. The material and human attributes of places 4. That people form regions to decode earth's complexity 5. How culture and experience influence people's understanding of places and regions

The World in Spatial Terms 6. How to use maps and other geographic tools and techniques to obtain, process, and describe information from a spatial viewpoint 7. How to use mental maps to organize data about people, places, and environments in a spatial context 8. How to study spatial arrangement of people, places, and environments on earth's surface
