Class experience
Welcome to my 4 day summer camp on "Planet Science" 4 consecutive days spending: one day exploring the Solar System, including the Giant Outer Planets and Mercury; another day exploring Mars and then Venus & the Moon. On the final day we look for life under the ice of the Moons of Jupiter and explore Saturns's Moons Titan and Enceladus. We will look at the Earth Science of each of the planets and compare them to the Earth in order to learn more about our own planet and its future and...
To discover and learn without realising it, because you are having fun! By the end of this course students will be know in depth details of most Earth Science curriculums as applied to to different types of planets.
I have a BSc in Geology and an MSc in Geophysics and have chosen the most interesting and exciting subjects to teach to get young minds fascinated by Earth Sciences. I also have a PhD in Philosophy.
Structured lecture classes, so participation optional, relieves anxiety Mixed media slides appeal to different learning styles Engaging topics keeps attention Slides can be seen before class
No previous experience required but please note this is not a basic class, so younger students may find it more challenging unless they are already very keen on this subject.
Some classes talks 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. We also talk about the end of the Earth and the Universe. It is delivered in a upbeat manner with positive solutions (eg: switching to renewable energy), but the more sensative students may find these topics distressing.
