지구 및 환경 과학 1년 과정 고등학교 과정(실험실 포함)

Explore the intricate connections between Earth's systems in this course, delving into topics such as geology, meteorology, and ecology. Investigate pressing environmental issues like climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss, gaining insight into their causes and potential solutions. Engage in hands-on experiments and discussions to deepen your understanding and empower you to make informed decisions as a steward of our planet.

Learners will be able to participate in a live lessons, share ideas, and ask questions. Each lesson will include:
-Learn a concept and/or skill of the day taught in creative and fun manner.
-Practice the skill via problems set or game
-Discuss how each skill or concept mastered from different thinking or visual cues.
-Review what was learned ways to master and remember.
