Belgium is one of the founding members of the European Community, and its capital, Brussels, is also the capital of the European Union . It is a federal state , with 3 relatively autonomous regions: Flanders in the north, where the language is Dutch ("Flemish"), Wallonia in the south, where the language is French, and the centrally located Brussels , which is officially bilingual. Belgium's rich history has left impressive churches, town halls, castles and works of art, dating back to the early Middle Ages, spread around the cities and country-side. Belgium has possibly the highest "quality of life" in the world, as testified by its excellent food , housing, health care, education and infrastructure, its world records for high productivity and low poverty, and the appreciation of foreigners residing in Belgium.

Extractions: Teacher's Edition Introduction to Module Six: Africa and Its Geography PURPOSE: Geography is a subject that "bridges" the natural sciences and the social sciences (which in school we refer to as the social studies) in the study of the physical, or natural, and human dimensions of the world. Geography is the study of the interconnection between people, places, and the environment. Geographers have identified five important themes in the study of geography. This lesson will introduce these themes with special reference to the study of the geography of Africa. 1. Location and spatial relations: The surface of our world, land and water, mountains and plains, oceans and lakes, is a defined space called earth. Earth can be divided into smaller spaces defined as continents, or divided further still into political units that are called countries, states, or even cities and villages. All human beings live, work, and play at specific locations that are called districts, villages, cities, countries, and continents. Geographers believe that every place where people live, work, play, etc. is shaped by that place's location in relationship to other places. Geographers use the term spatial relations when they study the impact of location on human activities.
Extractions: Career Education ... Social Science Curriculum Article C U R R I C U L U M A R T I C L E Don't lament the changing nature of the Internet capitalize on it! Because the Net immediately responds to political changes that forge new boundaries, your students can create and examine online maps that are more up-to-date than any of those in textbooks. No more searching through ancient atlases and dusty encyclopedias you'll find everything you need in the virtual world of the Web! Bette Morrill, an eighth-grade math teacher at Marshwood Junior High School in South Berwick, Maine, developed a unique map activity that is currently in its second year. She subscribes to a mailing list that publishes information about earthquakes all over the world and has her students plot the occurrences on a classroom map. This real-time scientific study makes use of the speed of the Internet and reinforces map-reading skills! "I start out the year by asking my students where they think the majority of earthquakes occur," says Morrill. "Next, we go over the basic scientific principles involved. I then review with them latitude and longitude, and have them practice on the world map located in our room. Each week the students print off the individual listings and chart them according to the magnitude of each earthquake. We use push pins to track the events."
