Earth Science is the combined study of how geology, physics, chemistry, and biology impact the universe; of the Earth’s internal processes; and the structure and relationships of the natural world. In this interactive and engaging course, students study air, water, and physical processes that shape the physical world, and how human civilization has impacted the balance of nature. Students learn about the modern science behind topics such as continental drift, fossil dating, the cause of the seasons, natural disasters, ocean ecosystems, and alternative energy sources. At the end of this course, students have an understanding of and appreciation for earth science, and a solid foundation for future science studies.
