Welcome to Earth Science. This course incorporates the sciences of geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy, as students seek to understand the non-living components that make up our universe--the Earth, its natural processes, history, and neighbors in space. Earth Science includes such topics as plate tectonics, geologic time, weather, motion of objects in space, and natural disasters. The aim of the course is to provide students with the tools to develop interest and appreciation for science, and realize that these processes can be applied in the Catholic, Marianist tradition to find answers to existing and future issues. The course uses an interactive approach to learning through hands-on activities, cooperative learning, and group projects. The approach and activities further develop laboratory techniques and critical thinking skills.
