Earth Science (MS) B

Semester 2: Earth Science (MS) explores how a number of sciences affect the processes on Earth and in space. In this interactive and engaging course, students study air, water, and the processes that shape the physical world, as well as how human civilization has impacted the balance of nature. Students will begin by learning the method of studying the natural world called the scientific method. Students learn about the modern science behind topics such as continental drift, fossil dating, the cause of the seasons, natural disasters, ocean ecosystems, and alternative energy sources. Students will also examine how human activity affects natural processes and the ways that impact can be reduced. At the end of this course, students have an understanding of and appreciation for earth science and a solid foundation for future science studies.
