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 honors variant of this course, students are challenged to master more in-depth content, tied to appropriate academic standards, in the same period as a traditional course, with a high level of rigor in both requirements and assessments. Students in the honors courses are also presented with a cumulative exam, the Semester Final, where they will be assessed on the aggregate of content presented throughout the semester.
