Note: We will be starting Semseter 2 in the 2nd week of January 2024. You can also join my Semester 1&2 classes as they are also starting Semester 2 at the same time. All students will get a certificate of attendance with grades if requested. WELCOME to Semester 2 of the "Earth Science" weekly ongoing class, which focuses on further topics that look at some of the most dramatic physical forces on Earth, with the aim of making learning fun and exhilarating. I think making learning enjoyable...
Learning goals are based on the National Next Generation Science Standard. After this course students will be able to: * Describe how the Rock Cyle works * Analyze different rocks and rock formations * Explain how science progressed to accept the Plate Tectonics Theory * Determine why some fossil sites are better than others * Use a model to explain how the continent of North America formed * Ask questions about Solar System and the Planets * Engage in arguments comparing the differences between the Planets * Understand why we are looking for life under the ice of the Moons of Jupiter and Saturn * Engage in arguments about how global warming may affect Global Climate Zones * Determine why certain Earth Systems are harmful to human beings and how to manage that risk
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. I have been teaching on Outschool for over 2 years and have taught at University level previously.

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. 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.
Google Forms will be used for the multichoice questions optional homework Course Text Books: Earth Science - Hardback Edition - Samuel - Published by: Spaulding, Namowitz Earth Scinece - Global Edition (14th Edition: 2015) - Tarbuck and Lutgens - Published by Pearsons Other Sources: https://geology.com/articles/what-is-earth-science.shtml https://www.britannica.com/science/Earth-sciences https://earth-science.org.uk/
