Why This Class
This course focuses on one of the coolest scientific topics of all: our planet Earth! Students will learn to connect how atoms and energy interact to create Earth systems, and consequently, the complexities of the Earth around us.
Through hands-on projects, mentors help the students discover how the smallest, most basic particles of matter can combine to create each and every feature of our universe. This course will help students experience the wonder of Earth Science—the ability to observe their physical surroundings, and both observe and connect with them at a much deeper level. Students will also learn about the connections between Earth Science and Chemistry, Engineering, Energy and Biology. They will see models, do presentations and design experiments as they investigate how all of these fields of science relate to each other.
