Information about the series: Geography focuses on the implementation of the holistic competence model. The textbook for lower secondary education is published in regional editions tailored to the curriculum of each federal state. The geography concept encourages students' active participation and supports the development of factual, methodological, and social competencies. The student book promotes discovery-based and problem-oriented learning. Interdisciplinary topics and project work are integrated into the chapters. Each chapter concludes with a results-oriented double page. The "Look it up" chapter serves as a compendium on geographical methods, memory, organization, comparison, and terminology. The explanations of geographical methods are presented in a way that allows teachers to use them for systematic method training.
