Beginning Earth Science: Earth's Natural Resources

*This class meets once a week for 6 weeks or 2x a week for three weeks to help meet the needs of all learner's schedules.

Earth is amazing!  In this class, young learners will learn all about our planet Earth.  What is on the Earth's surface?  How does the land on Earth change?  What are Earth's resources?  This class will help to answer those questions and more!  In this class, I will teach very important science vocabulary that correlates with different aspects of Earth's Resources.  Each lesson will be taught using lots of pictures and discussion to help children have a better understanding of what is being taught.  Each class will build on each other to help young learners fully understand all about Earth, the resources that we use from it, and how we can protect those natural resources.  Activities will be done in each class.  I will provide all handouts needed before each class begins.
