COURSE DESCRIPTION
NCAA Eligible Course
In Earth Science, students discover the theories about how Earth first formed. They explore Earth’s history and the different geologic processes that continually take effect and help to shape the planet. Students debate the ways in which human impacts affect the Earth's climate, and they view Earth as a body within the solar system and universe. They also review Earth's renewable and finite resources. The course concludes with a virtual tour of Earth's atmosphere and oceans.
In the credit recovery instance of this course, pre- and post-tests measure student mastery at the learning objective level. Students are excused from credit recovery course content based on the results of the topical pre-tests, which allows them to focus on the content they've not yet mastered.
