EARTH SCIENCE
This course is an examination of the Earth as a system within itself and as a part of the solar system, the Milky Way Galaxy and the Universe in which the Earth exists. Within the Earth both the abiotic and biotic realms and the interactions between them will be considered. The history of the Earth over 4.6 billion years of development will be studied to determine the changes that have resulted in the planet humans inhabit in the present. In all these areas this will be a science course using the principles of scientific ways of knowing the Earth and its environs. iPads will be required for this class to view anatomy apps, report creation, class projects, taking quizzes or tests, researching information, answering questions and viewing required content.
