Earth and Space Science is a laboratory and activity based course. Over this yearlong class we will explore the Earth’s Place in the Universe, interconnections among Earth’s Systems, and Human Activity’s impact on the Earth. Embedded within these themes are topics from all science disciplines such as Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Climatology, Geology and Physics. Throughout the course we will plan and carry out investigations, analyze and interpret data, utilize models, construct explanations, design solutions, and engage in scientific argument. NCAA approval pending.
