Earth Science

Earth Science is a comprehensive study of the Earth—its internal and external structure, its everchanging surface, its various bodies of water, its chemical makeup and its atmosphere and weather. Earth Science is a combination of geology, oceanography, meteorology and astronomy.

In this course, students view the Earth as a dynamic system and investigate, among other things, such topics as the movements of land, water and air, rock formation, types of rocks and minerals, and how the Earth is affected by the sun and moon.

This course has lab work.

There are 10 units in Earth Science.
