每週 1-2 小時. Homework is optional. Each week from weeks 2 to 14 there will be 6 multi-choice questions to answer using Google Forms within a week of class.評估
Grades will be offered at the end of the course 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.進度報告
Parents can request an update on their multiple-choice scores, but the student can also keep track of these themselves are scores and feedback are automatically given after submission each week.完成證書
All students can receive a certificate of completion. If the student undertakes the assessment this will be automatically generated and will include a grade.我們無法翻譯此文,請刷新頁面並再試一次。

Please note content does build but each class can also be taken as a stand-alone class, so you can join and leave anytime using the pay weekly option at no extra cost. All students will get a certificate of attendance with grades if they do the optional coursework. Welcome to my Earth Science course, which focuses on some of the most dramatic physical forces on Earth, with the aim of making learning fun and exhilarating. I think making learning enjoyable and bringing science to life is the best way to get kids engaged and learning without realising it. No previous experience necessary. Please contact me if you need my Degree Certificates sent to you. ▬▬▬▬▬▬ CLASS SUMMARY ▬▬▬▬▬ In this class we focus on all parts of the Earth Science school curriculum, with a new topic being introduced each week. All topics covered are an important part of any child's education in Geology, Meteorology, Physical Geography, Oceanography, Environmental Science, Astronomy and Space Science. We cover dinosaurs, fossils, volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes, minerals & gems, the planets, ocean currents, the changing environment and connected Earth systems. Please see my course syllabus for more details on class content and schedules. 1 Semester course option - just cancel after Semester 3 or 4 or join my single Semester courses. Another year or more interactive class option - take Semester 5 & 6, where we work through previous NY Regents Exam questions. Private Tuition also available - please contact me directly. ▬▬▬▬▬▬ CLASS STYLE ▬▬▬▬▬ I use PowerPoint presentations for all my classes, so I can mix text and multimedia (photos & videos) which I think makes the class more accessible and interesting. I use educational videos regularly in my classes where this improves the quality of the teaching. This class will be in a lecture style where students are reminded they can ask questions at any time and I do enjoy questions. This means that you can enjoy the class however you like - speak up and get involved and ask questions, or just listen and enjoy with no pressure. ▬▬▬▬▬▬ COMMUNICATIONS ▬▬▬▬▬ Please contact me to arrange either one-off or ongoing bespoke 1-to1 tuition sessions. I generally reply within a few hours during term time weekdays. I try and reply within 24hrs otherwise. If you try my class and it is not quite right, then I don't want anyone to leave unhappy, please contact me and I can help. Just contact me if you have any further questions, I am happy to help.
學習目標
To discover and learn without realising it, because you are having fun! By the end of this course students will be know in depth details of most Earth Science curriculums and will be prepared to attempt the New York State Regents Exam.

超過 18 週課 1:
1) Origin of the Earth's Atmosphere, Oceans & Continents
In this class we study Nebular Theory: the leading theory on how the Solar System formed. We then look at the early Earth and the development of an atmosphere, oceans and continents. We then briefly look at the evolution of life of Earth.

課 2:
Geology 1: the Rarest Gems & Metals
In this class we look at the rarest Gems and what they are made of how and where they were discovered. We then look at metals that are so rare that there may only be a teaspoon’s worth over the whole planet!

課 3:
Geology 2: Dating Rocks - Fossils & Stratigraphy
In this class we focus on sedimentary rocks and fossils and the different ways they can be used to work out the sequence of events that lead to a rock layer being formed. This is called stratigraphy and can help us be rock detectives and unlock the story the rocks are trying to tell us.

課 4:
Geology 3: Dating Rocks - Radiometric Dating
In this class we learn how geologists date rocks using Zircon crystals which are natures stopwatch. We learn about the different forms of radioactive decay and how they can be used to date different rocks and artifacts very accurately.

Multi-choice questions avoids penalising spelling
父母的引導和規範
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 sensitive students may find these topics distressing.
This class is a science class which includes using the theory of evolution as an assumption.
先決條件
None. Although doing my Earth Science Semester 1&2 courses first is helpful but not essential.
