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 Physical Science program introduces students to many aspects of the physical world, focusing first on chemistry and then on physics. The course provides an overview of the physical world and gives students tools and concepts to think clearly about matter, atoms, molecules, chemical reactions, motion, force, momentum, work and machines, energy, waves, electricity, light, and other aspects of chemistry and physics. Among other subjects, students study the structure of atoms; the elements and the Periodic Table; chemical reactions; forces, including gravitational, motion, acceleration, and mass; and energy, including light, thermal, electricity, and magnetism.
This is the second semester of a two semester course.
