Class Description

Explore the wonders of the Earth! Year-long class. This course is a full study of science and the universe starting with scientific investigation and data collection. Then moving into the Solar System and space with the planetary model and the Earth-Moon-Sun system. Rocks and minerals, along with the Earth’s structures and changes over time such as land mass movement, weathering, erosion, deposition, and landforms will also be studied. Energy systems and energy transfer will be explored in the context of weather and climate. 

          There will be lecture time, followed by weekly labs and hands-on learning opportunities including the popular and fun Geo Cupcakes and Jello-Jiggling plate tectonics as well as Moh’s Hardness Scale and some data analysis. 

This class will include more extensive reading then the elementary level geology, along with some note-taking and critical thinking activities.  There will be two – three quiz or test sessions within each semester to allow students the opportunity to prepare for learning in older grade levels. One interactive (reading + work pages) for the whole year.
