WELCOME TO EARTH SCIENCE!!!!

Course Description:

The Earth Science standards connect the study of the Earth's composition, structure, processes, and history: its atmosphere, fresh water, and oceans: and its environment in space. The standards emphasize historical contributions in the development of scientific thought about the Earth and space. The standards stress the interpretation of maps, charts, tables, and profiles: the use of technology to collect, analyze, and report data: and the utilization of science skills in systematic investigations. Problem solving and decision-making are an integral part of the standards, especially as they relate to the costs and benefits of utilizing the Earth's resources.
