What's included
Group experience
A group to discuss Geology, Meteorology, Oceanography, Physical Geography and Space Science. I will share Earth Science new stories and start discussions on different topics within Earth Science. We will also discuss Earth Science related Youtube videos by other respectabel educators. I will monitor conversations and give my input if needed once a week. I will start new topics once a month and update Earth Science news when ever it occurs - or in a monthly update.
Learning Goals
This group is a great opportunity for Earth Science fans to extend their knowledge, connect with other Earth Science geeks and keep up to date with what is happening in this amazing world we call Earth.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Some Earth Science topics cover 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. I try to steern this into a upbeat manner with positive solutions (eg: switching to renewable energy), but the more sensative students may find these topics distressing.

Why is North Western Europe warmer than it should be?
Exciting Earth Science is a community of learners that come together on Outschool to share what they’re learning, ask questions, participate in challenges, and get feedback on their projects
Is it becuase the Gulf Stream brings warm water from the Gulf of Mexico across the Atlantic to North West Europe, which elevates the temperature?
I hear that the Gulf Stream might be slowing down. Is this true? What will happen if it stops?
I watched this video by BeSmart (PBS) that explains it really well. Check it out! - Click to play YouTube video
