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.

The life science curriculum invites students to investigate the world of living things—at levels both large and small—by
reading, observing, and experimenting with aspects of life on Earth. Students explore an amazing variety of organisms,
the complex workings of the cell, the relationship between living things and their environments, and discoveries in
the world of modern genetics. Practical, hands-on lesson activities help students discover how scientists investigate
the living world. Students perform laboratory activities and a full-unit investigation to learn about the application of
scientific methods.>
