teaching process
Preparation before class
Students understand the geographical environment and economic development of Singapore. Conduct research in groups, and conduct research in groups according to the inquiry process and inquiry questions prompted by the teaching materials. The class mainly reports the research results. Teachers will also prepare corresponding materials for students to make some supplements when presenting research results in class.
Introduce a new course

Singapore is creating a miracle of world economic development. Many people are studying the reasons why Singapore's economy has developed so rapidly. Students have also done some research as experts, focusing on Singapore as an example to analyze what conditions the geographical environment of a certain area provides for regional economic development. Let's explore together. Students who have formed some ideas can communicate with their classmates in the group and introduce the results of exploration on behalf of the group.

Courseware presentation: written materials: a brief introduction to Singapore's geographical environment
The country name comes from Singapore, which is a city country, and its original meaning is Lion City. According to Malay historical records, around 1 150, Prince Juan, the late kingdom of Sri Lankan Buddha in Sumatra, arrived on the island by boat and saw a black beast, which was called a lion by the locals, hence the name "Lion City". Singapore is the homonym of the Sanskrit "Lion City". Because local residents are deeply influenced by Indian culture, they like to use Sanskrit as their place names. The lion is brave and vigorous, so it is natural to use it as a place name. In the past, many overseas Chinese called it "Silla", which means "Strait" in Malay, and some people called it "Sin Chau" and "Sing Tao" because of its small area.
Physical geography is located in Southeast Asia, and it is the southernmost tropical island city of Malay Peninsula. Located in the north of the equator136.8km, east longitude10338 ′ to east longitude1046 ′, north latitude109 ′ to north latitude129 ′. It consists of a main island and 63 small islands. Covering an area of 682.7 square kilometers (Singapore Yearbook 2002), it is adjacent to Malaysia across the Johor Strait in the north, connected to Johor Bahru in Malaysia across a long dike, and facing Indonesia across the Singapore Strait in the south. The entrance and exit of Malacca Strait, the shipping artery between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, is one of the crossroads of the world. It has a tropical maritime climate with high temperature and rainy all the year round, with an average annual temperature of 24 ~ 27℃. The terrain is low and flat, with an average elevation of15m. Lack of natural resources. Singapore's geographical position and unique geographical conditions make it develop into a major commercial, communication and tourism center.

General situation of Singapore economy
Singapore's traditional economy is dominated by commerce, including entrepot trade, processing and export, and shipping. After independence, we will adhere to the free economic policy and accelerate the development of capital-intensive and high value-added emerging industries. The government's current economic development direction is to take the service industry as the development center and accelerate the internationalization, liberalization and high-tech of the economy. In order to further develop the economy, in recent years, we have vigorously promoted the "regional economic strategy", accelerated overseas investment, and actively carried out foreign economic activities.
(1) general situation of agriculture
The proportion in the national economy is less than 1%. Mainly gardening, poultry raising, aquatic products and vegetable cultivation. Agriculture has 5,900 hectares of cultivated land, accounting for 9.5% of the country's land area. All grain is imported, and 80% vegetables are imported from Malaysia, China, Indonesia and Australia. Agriculture has retained the production of export agricultural products with high output value, such as planting tropical orchids, raising ornamental tropical fish and planting some traditional tropical cash crops.
(2) Industry overview
Since 1965 left federated malay states, industrialization has promoted the economic transformation of Singapore. Mainly manufacturing, including oil refining, petrochemical, shipbuilding, electronics, textiles, transportation equipment and other departments. Singapore is the third largest oil refining center in the world. The electronics industry is the fastest growing sector, but it faces competition from other Asian countries. The government is committed to improving productivity to maintain its competitive advantage in low-cost and high-tech fields.
(3) Overview of service industry
Singapore has a developed service industry, which will further develop with the economic development in Southeast Asia. The financial industry is the largest service sector and has developed rapidly in the past few years. Tourism is developed and is one of the main sources of foreign exchange. Since 1995, there have been nearly 7140,000 new tourists. Mainly from Japanese, Indonesian, Malaysian, Taiwan Province, Korean and other countries and regions.
