Te taiao consists of all things that make up the surrounding environment. This includes features such as rivers, mountains, people, buildings, and infrastructure. Te taiao can exist at different scales and can be located wherever we place ourselves. Students will demonstrate understanding of spatial distribution and natural processes in the te taiao.
