Welcome to my 4 Day Summer Boot Camp about the amazing Earth Science of the 7 Continents - North and South America, Asia, Europe, Australia, Africa & Antarctica Here we spend 4 consecutive days exploring the 7 continents. Studying how the mountain were built, why the volcanoes are where they are and where the plates are still moving. We also cover the major fossil sites and dinosaur finds on the continent. As well as the prevailing weather patterns and surface features, like; rivers, glaciers and deserts. Finally we touch on the minerals, gems and mining operations that occur on these great continents. Classes will be in a lecture style using multi-media PowerPoint slides with opportunities for questions. We will cover the following topics: 1) Geological Evolution 2) Weather Patterns 3) Surface Features - Rivers, Glaciers & Deserts 4) Fossils, Dinosaurs & Volcanoes Please contact me if you have any further questions or need any other information.
Learning Goals
After the classes the student will have a good understanding of the Earth Science of the 7 Continents.

Parental Guidance
Some classes talk about Global Warming and Climate Change causing more frequent natural disasters. It also talks about mass extinctions including the possibility of humans causing one now (including ourselves) and has some drawn images of animals dying to become fossils. It is delivered in a upbeat manner with positive solutions (eg: switching to renewable energy), but the more sensitive students may find these topics distressing.
Pre-Requisites
None, but this is not a basic class, so younger kids may find it challenging unless they are already keen on the subject.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
