Discover Geography: Student's Book 7 (Collins Discover Geography)

Discover Geography empowers students to think like geographers and understand geography. With compelling enquiry questions, chapters build the knowledge and skills to explore the world. Focusing on curiosity, critical thinking, and real-world relevance, learners make meaningful connections and envision positive, sustainable and equitable futures.

This complete and compelling geography curriculum supports the KS3 Geography National Curriculum for England, Cambridge Lower Secondary Humanities, and IB MYP Individuals and Societies.

Student’s Book 7 explores themes such as climate change, drainage basins, contrasting landscapes, adaptation, food security and the impacts of a changing climate. The chapters investigate key concepts such as the difference between weather and climate, how climate is measured, and how it varies across the globe using real-world examples like Death Valley, Mawsynram and the Thar Desert – laying the foundation for deeper study at IGCSE or GCSE Geography.
