The Earth science curriculum builds on the natural curiosity of students. By connecting them to the beauty of geological
history, the amazing landforms around the globe, the nature of the sea and air, and the newest discoveries about our
universe, the curriculum gives students an opportunity to relate to their everyday world. Students will explore
topics such as the fundamentals of geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy; Earth’s minerals and rocks;
Earth’s interior; plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, and the movements of continents; geology and the fossil record;
the oceans and the atmosphere; and the solar system and the universe.

Students perform experiments to develop skills of observation and analysis, and learn how scientists understand the world. They demonstrate how pulleys lift heavy objects, make a temporary magnet and test its strength, and analyze the parts of a flower.
