Units of study include cartography, population, migration, culture, ethnicities, language, religion, politics, economic development, industry, agriculture, services, and urban geography. Emphasis is placedon the geographic models and theories and their application. Case studies from around the globe are used to compare the situations in the United States, locally and worldwide.  \nAP Human Geography  \nMSD of Pike Township  \nPhone: 317-347-8524  \nAndrew Snider [ARSnider@pike.k12.in.us](ARSnider@pike.k12.in.us)  \nHuman Geography is an AP course that offers college credit if students receive at least a 3 out of 5 on the AP exam. It isan extremely interesting course that covers a broad range of topics. Students are given several supplemental  \n  resources such as colored pencils, composition  \nnotebooks and a workbook called Cracking the APHG Exam.
