Earth-Space Science Honors Online

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.

CREATION and SCIENCE INTELLIGENT DESIGN

This is a required assignment for the Earth/Space Honors course and must be completed in its entirety.  If this assignment is skipped or turned in blank by the student it will be reassigned by the teacher until completed satisfactorily.

Evolutionary Theory and Intelligent Design – Both Evolutionary Theory and Intelligent Design are studied by scientists, and both are affected by the world view and assumptions made by the scientists who interpret experiments and mathematical models. At what point does the support for either evolutionary theory or intelligent design slide from a foundation of solid experimental science to a foundation of a desired outcome and a pre-existing bias? For this assignment, view the three videos below presenting support for Intelligent Design.

Write a response to the videos in one paragraph.  Following this, complete a research report comparing and contrasting the strengths and weaknesses of Evolutionary Theory and Intelligent Design using a minimum of 3 references. The report is to be a minimum of 800 words. Include a Bibliography listing the resources and references used to write the report.

Use the following videos along with other research your conduct to complete this required assignment.
