Semester 1 starts again in Sept 2024. But I do have other long and short courses running over the summer. Semester 1 & 2 can be taken in any order. Also content does build but each class can also be taken as a stand along class, so you can join anytime. All students will get a certificate of attendance with grades if requested. Welcome to the "Earth Science" weekly ongoing class, which focuses on some of the most dramatic physical forces on Earth, with the aim of making learning fun and...
15 lessons//15 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1Introduction to Earth ScienceIn this class I give an overview of the course, covering the basics principles of Earth Science and the main topics we will cover. I also point out the many exciting careers that studying Earth Science can lead to.Week 2Lesson 2Minerals, Gems & Precious MetalsIn this class we define what a Mineral is and what makes some minerals precious Gems. We then look at where and how precious metals are mined.Week 3Lesson 3The Formation of the EarthIn this class we go from the formation of the Sun and the Solar System, all the way through the formation of the Earth, the Moon and each supercontinent, including Pangea. And end up looking at what the Earth Might look like 250 million years in the future when Future Pangea forms.Week 4Lesson 4The Structure of the EarthIn this class we focus on how we can use seismic waves to tell us the structure of the Earth. And how the Earth’s Magnetic field is generated and why it is important.Week 5Lesson 5Sedimentary Rocks - Fossils, Faults & FoldsIn this class we cover the basics of the different types of sedimentary rocks and how to identify them. We then learn about different types of fossils, faults and folds and learn how to become rock detectives.Week 6Lesson 6The Dinosaur Extinction: Asteroid or VolcanoesIn this class we revisit sedimentary rocks but focus on the evidence left in the rock record around 66 million years ago when the Dinosaurs went extinct. We analyse the evidence for whether the dinosaurs were made extinct by a huge meteor strike or was it millions of years of volcanic activity instead.Week 7Lesson 7The Carbon Cycle, Renewable Energy & Climate ChangeIn this class we study the Carbon Cycle and focus on how fossil fuels are formed and how geologists and geophysicists are really good a finding them. We then discuss climate change and renewable energy.Week 8Lesson 8Igneous Rocks: Magma Chambers, Volcanoes, Killer Ash and LavaIn this class we study Intrusive Igneous Rocks that form from magma chambers that cool inside the ground. Then we look at Extrusive Igneous Rocks and the main lava and pyroclastic formations.Week 9Lesson 9Weathering, Erosion, Landslides and SoilIn this class we move on to study Physical Geography and look at the diffirent forms of weathering and how they lead to soil formation. We then look at how this soil can be too easily lost to erosion and diffirent types of landslides.Week 10Lesson 10Rivers, Glaciers and DesertsIn this class we return to study Physical Geography and look at the forces that shape the surface of the Earth. We start with rivers and surface water and then move on to underground aquifers, before focusing on frozen water in glaciers and the formations they make. We finish by studying deserts where wind erosion is the dominant force sculpting the Earth's surface.Week 11Lesson 11Meteorology 1: Heat Transfer, Humidity & RainIn this class we looks at how the atmosphere and clouds work. We start by looking at the basics of heat transfers across the Earth and then see how this control humidity and condensation. We finish by looking at cloud formations and why sometimes it rains and sometimes it doesn't.Week 12Lesson 12Meteorology 2: Weather PatternsIn this class we apply what we learnt in the last class to local, regional and global weather systems. We study air pressure and how this determines where the big storms gather. We then look at tornadoes and how and where they form.Week 13Lesson 13Oceanography 1: From Coastlines to the AbyssIn this class we look at the structure of the oceans, all along the seafloor to where the coast is eroded by waves. We look at how waves form and why the coast is a constantly changing interface between sea and land.Week 14Lesson 14Oceanography 2: Ocean Life and Ocean ResourcesIn this class we focus on the resources in the ocean and the food chains that support ocean life. We looks at the resources the ocean offers and how these are being over exploited in some cases. We finish by looking at tides and why and how they happen.Week 15Lesson 15Earth Systems - Snowball Earth, El Nino, HurricanesIn this class we bring everything we have learnt together and look at interconnected Earth Systems. We explore how the oceans, atmosphere, the continents and the biosphere interact to make this amazing planet that we live on.
To discover and learn without realising it, because you are having fun! By the end of this course students will know in depth details of the Earth Science curriculum.
I have a BSc in Geology and an MSc in Geophysics and have chosen the most interesting and exciting subjects to teach to get young minds fascinated by Earth Sciences.
숙제 제공
Homework is optional. From weeks 2 to 14 there will be 6 multi-choice questions to answer using Google Forms within a week of class.수업 외 주당 0 - 1 시간
제공되는 평가
Assessment is optional. Students will get instant feedback on the multi-choice questions and their scores will be added up over the Semester to contribute ot a final grade with a certificate.제공되는 성적
Grades will be given as long as the student answers enough of the optional weekly questions. A certificate of attendance with grade will be sent to the student at the end of the Semester.
Structured lecture classes, so participation optional, relieves anxiety Mixed media slides appeal to different learning styles Engaging topics keeps attention Slides can be seen before class Multi-choice questions avoids penalising spelling

Some classes talks about 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. It is delivered in a upbeat manner with positive solutions (eg: switching to renewable energy), but the more sensative students may find these topics distressing.

I teach Earth Science and Philosophy on Outschool and am very passionate about the topics I teach. You can join any of my classes anytime. They do follow on from each other, but can also be taken as stand alone classes. I use the lecture-style...
