This course follows an a-g approved syllabus. It is a project-based study of Earth Science that is designed to provide high school students with an understanding of the physical and natural processes that shape our planet. Through a combination of lectures, labs, and discussion, students will explore the various components of Earth.

Topics covered in this course include:

- The structure of the Earth, including the layers of the Earth's interior and the composition of the Earth's crust
- Plate tectonics and the processes that shape the Earth's surface, including volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building
- The Earth's atmosphere and the factors that influence weather and climate, including solar radiation, atmospheric circulation, and greenhouse gases
- The Earth's hydrosphere, including the water cycle, ocean currents, and the impact of human activities on water quality
- The Earth's biosphere, including ecosystems, biodiversity, and the impact of human activities on the environment
- Natural resources, including fossil fuels, minerals, and renewable energy sources
- Earth's history and Astronomy.

Throughout the course, students will develop skills in scientific inquiry, data collection and analysis, and critical thinking. Students will also engage in hands-on activities, such as rock and mineral identification, weather monitoring, and ecosystem investigations.

Upon completion of this course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of Earth's physical and natural processes, and the ability to apply scientific principles to real-world problems related to the environment and natural resources.
