Welcome to Earth Science!
I am looking forward to getting to know each of you and being able to share this academic year with you.
Course Description
Earth Science is a combination of many sciences, including geology, meteorology, oceanography, and astronomy. In this course we will cover each of these subjects.This is an SOL course.The Earth Science standards connect the study of the Earth's composition, structure, processes, and history; its atmosphere, fresh water, and oceans; and its enviroment in space.The standards empasize historical contributions in the development of scientific thoughtabout 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 investigation. 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. Major topics of study include plate tectonics, the rock cycle, earth history, the oceans, the atmosphere, weather and climate,and the solar system and universe.
