A concept is a mental representation or abstract idea that emerges from abstraction, which is a mental process of understanding things that are not clear or fully defined. Concepts need phrases or symbols to help understand them and these symbols require observation or visualization. Social studies contains many abstractions like Earth, its surface movements, human skulls, rock sheets, continents, icebergs, and the interior of Earth. Abstractions can be vague terms for students and concepts are derived from investigating or discussing these abstractions in various ways like student presentations.
