Curso de Ciencias de la Tierra y el Espacio alineado con los NGSS para la escuela secundaria (2/3)

 "How do scientists describe the composition of Earth’s atmosphere?" Students dive into the intricacies of meteorology, studying the composition of the atmosphere, air, particulates, aerosols, atmospheric pressure, density, barometer, temperature, and the distinct layers of the atmosphere including the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. 

 How is heat transferred throughout our environment?"
Students delve into the fundamental principles of heat transfer, covering topics such as kinetic energy, convection, convection currents, conduction, radiation, & more! 

 Students explore the dynamic states of matter, the energy gained and released during phase changes, the intricacies of the water cycle, and the critical roles of latent heat, joules, and specific heat in these processes. 

 "Why do local winds occur?" Students delve into the concept of density and its role in driving local wind patterns, gaining a deeper understanding of the dynamic forces shaping weather patterns in their own backyard.
