Standard

Science & Nature

In this 15 Week Course, students will be introduced to the first seven topics of Earth Science. It is modified from the High school course and geared to honors level middle school students.


Definition of what Earth Science is and how we study the Earth. Observations vs Inferences as data gathering will be introduced, as will density with respect to matter phases and outside forces, calculating density, graphing with respect to direct and indirect relationships, and classification.

Unit 1 -Introduction to Earth Science

We will study how Earth goes through change using Rates of Change Calculations, Percent Deviation Calculations, and changes that result in Dynamic Equilibrium.

Unit 2 - Measuring Change

This lesson will introduce Basic Mapping, Latitude - Longitude, and Eratosthenes Equation in which he found the circumference of the Earth. 

Unit 3 - Measuring the Earth - Part 1

This lesson will introduce the concept of Isolines, and how we use them to make Topographic Maps

Unit 3 - Measuring the Earth - Part 2

This lesson introduces the Astronomy part of Earth Science, which is the largest unit of the course. Starting with the Big Bang, and how we use the Doppler Effect to measure the expansion of the universe. The formation of galaxies and our solar system will be studied.

Unit 4 - The Earth in Space - Part 1

As we continue the study of our solar system, Rotation, Revolution, and apparent motion will be taught, and the concept of a Celestial Sphere will be introduced. Historical Astronomy will be introduced with the works of Aristotle, Ptolemy, Copernicus, Brahe, and Kepler. 

Unit 4 - The Earth in Space - Part 2

This lesson will Look at the proofs of Rotation and Revolution, particularly Foucault's Pendulum, the Coriolis Effect, Retrograde Motion, and Constellation Movement. Moon Phases and Tidal Influence will also be discussed.

Unit 4 - The Earth in Space - Part 3

The unit closes out with a look at the members of our Solar System, starting with the Sun, and solar radiation, moving to Mercury and the terrestrial planets, Jupiter and the Gas Giants, and ending with space objects, such as meteors, comets, and asteroids.

Unit 4 - The Earth in Space - Part 4

The Energy Unit will begin with definitions of energy, the Electromagnetic spectrum, and distinctions between Transverse and Longitudinal Waves. Wave definitions of Wavelength, Frequency, and Amplitude, along with surface interactions will be introduced. The energy transfer methods of Conduction, Convection, and Radiation will be introduced, which will be built upon in later topics, such as weather, climate, and rock formation.

Unit 5 - Energy - Part 1

The Energy unit will continue with Kinetic versus Potential Energy differences, Specific Heat of Materials, Phase Changes, the Phase Change Diagram, and close out with Radioactive Decay.

Unit 5 - Energy - Part 2

This lesson explores Insolation (INcoming SOLar RadiATION). The Greenhouse Effect will be studied, as well as Energy Absorption due to Axial Tilt. Average Daily and Yearly Temperature Max-Mins will finish out the Topic.

Unit 6 - Insolation and the Seasons

The final unit of the first semester introduces weather. Variables of Meteorology such as Air Temperature, Air Pressure, Humidity, Wind, Currents, and Atmospheric Transparency will be discussed. The use of a Sling Psychrometer will be demonstrated to calculate Dewpoint and Relative Humidity.

Unit 7 - Meteorology - Part 1

We continue our look at weather by expanding our study of Relative Humidity. Wind and Air Currents are next, followed by the stratification of the atmosphere into four distinct layers (Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, and Thermosphere). Introduction to Effects of Air Pressure ends the lesson. 

Unit 7 - Meteorology - Part 2

Moving on, we study pressure systems (High and Low) and the air movements associated with each. We also look at Frontal Systems - Cold, Warm, Stationary, and Occluded. 

Unit 7 - Meteorology - Part 3

The final lesson of the unit looks at Isolines and weather mapping. We learn how to plot Isotherms and isobars, and how to translate Station Models and their symbols on a weather map. The topic ends with Precipitation types versus Condensation Types. The lesson will finish with a quick review of Topics 1-7.


Unit 7 - Meteorology - Part 4
