The Five Themes of Geography: Knowledge Quest

Picture
Have you ever learned about something that--once you knew about it--you end up seeing it everywhere? It was like that when Mr. Peinert learned about the shape of a maple tree leaf (This was years ago!) From that point on, he didn't just see "trees" when we walked down the street--he saw maple trees!
Picture
The Five Themes of Geography are just like this. Once you learn about them, you start seeing them everywhere!  

The first step is the KNOWLEDGE QUEST. 

Here, you'll get to demonstrate your understanding of the Five Themes.

(If you don't feel like you're quite ready for the "KNOWLEDGE QUEST," you can review the Five Themes by navigating to the "Review" link, Click the Review Button to the right
