What are the Social Sciences? The Social Sciences consist of Geography, History, Civics, Economics, and Current Events. These sciences weave together to give the learner a broader understanding of the world. Social Sciences are an integral part of education - most students take at least one Social Science course every year of their schooling. Geography introduces students to the world through cartography and topography. Students apply geographical knowledge to understand the influences of geography on historical events. History teaches students how past events shaped our world and how they relate to us today. Civics is the study of government and its application to our daily lives, and Economics studies how goods and services are exchanged around our world.

What is the purpose of this document? Here I have documented what I believe to be an effective and dynamic way of teaching the Social Science. I have no professional credentials in the study of education nor am I any kind of psychologist, this is only a collection of my thoughts and advice. For more information on exactly what this document is and is not, visit the Acknowledgements page.
