This course is the same as my Middle School and High School Semester 1 course but for a wider age group over the summer months. There is a 2 week gap for my summer holiday. 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 exhilarating. I think making learning enjoyable and bringing science to life is the best way to get kids engaged and learning without realising it. Each class will cover a stand alone topic and students can join or leave anytime. No previous experience necessary. ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 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 and Planet Science. ▬▬▬▬▬ WEEKLY TOPIC SCHEDULE ▬▬▬▬▬ Here is the schedule for the Summer 2024. After August this class will start again this from September 2024 and January 2024 - I will post those dates later in the summer. 1) WEEK TARTING 29th April - How the Earth was formed 2) WEEK TARTING 6th May - Fossils and the Evolution of Life 3) WEEK STARTING 13th May - Plate Tectonics - science in action 4) WEEK STARTING 20th May -Rock Types and Geological Principles 5) WEEK STARTING 27th May - Minerals, Gems & Precious Metals 6) WEEK STARTING 3rd June - Sedimentary Rocks - Faults and Folds 7) WEEK STARTING 10th June - Dinosaurs & Extinction Events 8) WEEK STARTING 17th June - Igneous Rocks and Volcanoes 9) WEEK STARTING 24th June - Physical Geography: Rivers, Glaciers& Deserts 10) WEEK STARTING 1st July - Meteorology 1 - Humidity, Rain, Hail & Snow 11) WEEK STARTING 8th July - Meteorology 2 - Weather Patterns & Tornadoes 12) WEEK STARTING 15th July - Oceanography - the Sea Floor & Coasts 2 WEEKS OFF 13) WEEK STARTING 5th Aug - Oceanography - Life, Food Chains, Resources & Tides 14) WEEK STARTING 12th Aug - Space Science - Tour of the Solar System 15) WEEK STARTING 19th Aug - Earth Systems - Snowball Earth, El Nino, Hurricanes

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 sensative students may find these topics distressing.
