This course is a flexible schedule course meaning students will complete the content on their own time! There are no live classes. In this 6 week course, we will focus on the foundational Earth Science topics surrounding the structure of Earth itself.

Here is what the classroom will look like without any clickable links! ▶https://tinyurl.com/12ys1qzn◀ In this classroom I will provide an interactive video lecture each week on Monday Morning. I will also provide lab ideas, craft ideas, suggested books and additional videos and quizzes as applicable! They will be asked to submit photos and videos of their notebook entries and projects. This is a flexible schedule course which means student complete work on their own time. There are NO LIVE MEETINGS during this class but I will be checking the Outschool classroom daily to answer questions, help with students' understanding of the topic and give feedback on projects. Students are also expected to comment on each others' submitted work. As students complete projects and notebook entries, they can share them in the classroom to for other students to see. Students will have access to the virtual classroom the entire time and content will be changed each week. All of the lab sheets and craft sheets are my own work created specifically for registered learners of this class only.
Learning Goals
In this 6 week flexible schedule course, learners will gain knowledge about the Earth's formation, structure, and cool landforms including mountains and rifts and volcanoes.
