Students enrolled in this rigorous course will expand on the knowledge and skills developed in middle school to explain more in-depth phenomena central to the earth and space sciences and to their daily lives. Students will gain an understanding of the universe and explore other topics such as Earth’s history, structure, weather, biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, resources, and the impact humans have on Earth’s resources. The course includes interactive real-world examples throughout the lessons and application projects, as well as virtual interactive lab simulations. Earth and Space Science is a two-semester course that will provide a solid foundation for understanding the physical characteristics that make the planet Earth unique and will examine how these characteristics differ among the planets of our solar system.
