IB Geography SL Notes

Geography

Aimnova offers free IB Geography SL revision notes covering the three core units — changing population, global climate (vulnerability and resilience), and global resource consumption and security — plus all seven Paper 1 options. Each topic includes concise definitions, located case studies, maps and diagrams, spaced-repetition flashcards, and IB-style practice questions with AI feedback — no sign-up required to read the notes.

IB Geography studies the relationships between people, places, and environments at scales from the local to the global, blending physical geography (climate, water, hazards) with human geography (population, resources, cities). The course rewards students who argue with evidence, apply named case studies, and present data with clear maps and diagrams.

These notes are organised by unit and topic according to the official IB syllabus, so you can revise systematically for Paper 1 (your two options, 35%), Paper 2 (the core, 40%), and the fieldwork Internal Assessment (25%). Whether you are revising the core or going deep on an option, this structured approach ensures you cover every part of the SL course efficiently.

What's included

  • The three core units plus all seven Paper 1 options
  • Located case studies, maps, and diagrams for every topic
  • Spaced-repetition flashcards for key terms and case studies
  • IB-style practice questions with AI marking and feedback
  • Command-term and extended-response technique built in
  • Free to access — no account required for notes
