Earth Science, Part 2

$299.00

EARTH 043 | High School | 0.50 Credit Hours

This course takes a look at the resources that populate the spheres (biosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and cryosphere) and how we use, renew, deplete, and waste them. Students will learn about experimental design, properties of water, weathering and erosion, oceans, the atmosphere, Earth's climate, feedback loops, natural resources, pollution, and sustainability. This is the second half of a two-part Earth Science series. This course also encompasses Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
