In this four week course we will discover how the Earth and its life have changed overtime. Students will explore how Earth’s geology and climate have transformed and influenced each other over unimaginably long periods of time. 

We will explore the processes that cause the planet to change, how scientists study the past, and ow life may have looked. 

Learners will investigate questions such as:

- How do we measure geologic time?
- Why are the continents and oceans different today from the past?
- How is life impacted by the planet’s climate?
- What was prehistoric life like?
- How do we study Earth’s history? 

This is a highly interactive course. Students will learn through an image and video filled presentation and discussion. Students’ participation and questions are regularly encouraged. No previous knowledge in the subject is required. 

Classes are designed to encourage student engagement and follow their curiosity.

Each week we will examine one of the eons of Earth’s history and the eras within them. 

Class One: Introduction and Hadean
