Earth Science

This introductory Earth Science course incorporates the body of knowledge and facts accumulated from people’s observations of the Earth around them and the skies above them. This observed information of the earth has evolved over centu- ries into the branch of science known as earth science. Earth science has several different braches of study: the solid earth (geology); the earth’s waters (hydrology and oceanography); the earth’s atmosphere (meteorology); and the universe be- yond earth (astronomy). Using careful observation and experimentation, students will learn to effectively analyze and evaluate the earth’s natural phenomena and their causes, as well as, its relationship in the universe by focusing on the four ma- jor areas of study.

Earth Space Science

Why did early explorers risk their lives to reach the North Pole? Why does our earth look so beautiful when seen from space? What is really down at the bottom of the ocean? Discovering new things about our earth has been the dream of scientists and explorers for centuries. Today, it is your turn to continue that journey of dis- covery. Earth/Space Science is a laboratory course focusing on the study of space, and the geologic and atmospheric forces that shape our world. Through experi- mentation and investigation, students will explore the earth cycles including the geosphere, hydrosphere, crysosphere, atmosphere and the carbon cycle. Student will learn about scientific inquiry, geologic time, space exploration, the solar sys- tem and the universe. Students will use web 2.0 tools, interactive experiences, higher order thinking, collaborative projects, and real world application through labs and a variety of assessments. Upon completion of the course, students will have a clear understanding of the dynamic forces at work in the world around them, becoming better caretakers of our planet, Earth.
