The first unit we studied was geography. Weather is the 

condition of the air and sky from day to day. Climate is 

the average weather over many years. Indiana's climate 

is Humid continental. That means we have cold winters 

and warm, wet summers. 

The second unit we covered in Mr. Vaughts class was 

economics. Economics are the branch of knowledge concerned 

with the production, consumption, and transfer of wealth. 

Economic systems are how societies deal with limited 

resources

Government is any group of people living together in a 

country, state, city, or local community has to live by 

certain rules. The United states government is 

Constitutional republic, which means a state in which the 

head of state and other officials are representatives of the 

people.

We also learned about culture. Culture is the way of life of 

a group of people. Culture is important in many countries. 

Culture has many factors. For example, beliefs, customs, 

ideas, homes, etc.

Religions are the fifth thing we learned about this year in 

social studies. There are many of them but here are just 

three examples, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity. Here in 

the United States you can believe in whatever religion you 

would like, but the main religion is Christianity.

We also talked about Africa. The 

physical features of africa are 

different depending on where you 

go. For example, if you go to West 

Africa, it is very populated and has 

grasslands.

The next thing we studied was East Asia. As you can see, East Asia 

is very big. There are 2 major rivers in China. They are called the 

Chang and the Huang.

We also did South Asia. This was one of the most 

recent units we have done. Nearly two thirds of the 

land in Southwest Asia is desert, and many parts of 

the region receive little rain.
