SCI112: Earth ScienceIn this course, students focus on geology, oceanography, astronomy, weather, and climate. Students follow a programof online study days that alternate with review-and-assessment days. Lessons include extensive animations, hands-onlaboratory activities, reference book study, and collaborative activities with virtual classmates.Course length: Two semestersMaterials: Earth Science: A Reference Guide; materials for laboratory experimentsPrerequisites: K12 middle school Earth Science, or equivalentSemester OneUnit 1: Earth Science and SystemsEarth science is one of the most fascinating topics in all the sciences, and students learn about its place among the sciences in thisunit. Students explore what earth science is, study aspects of scientific methods, and use those methods in a laboratory setting. Semester IntroductionWhy Study Earth Science?Spheres as Earth SystemsReview: Why Study Earth Science and Earth SystemsLaboratory: Topographical MapsEarth Systems and InteractionsReview: Earth Systems and InteractionsLaboratory: Modeling Earth Science Processes 1Laboratory: Modeling Earth Science Processes 2Unit 2: Dynamic Earth Introduction to Plate TectonicsPangaea and Continental DriftMoving PlatesReview: Plate TectonicsWhere Earthquakes and Volcanoes OccurReview: Earthquakes and Volcanoes OccurStructure of Earth’s InteriorReview: Structure of Earth’s InteriorLaboratory: Hawaiian Island ChainHow Earthquakes HappenReview: How Earthquakes HappenLocating EarthquakesLaboratory: Earthquake EpicenterHow Volcanoes Formwww.k12.com { Pg. 1 }Students confront earth as a dynamic planet; in many ways, it is more active than any other planet in our solar system. Thecore idea of plate tectonics, its effect on earth’s history, and its current geological activity helps students make sense of ourworld. Knowledge of the origin and distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes helps students make even greater sense ofearth’s dynamic nature.

Review: Earthquakes and Volcanoes Mountain Building Review: Mountain Building Unit 3: Composition of the EarthStudy of the minerals and rocks that comprise earth is students’ most tangible way to engage in the nature of the earth’sstructure. In this unit, students tackle the nature of rocks, their origin, distribution, and transformation. Minerals on EarthMineral PropertiesReview: MineralsRocks and Their Mineral CompositionReview: Rocks and Their Mineral CompositionThree Kinds of RocksReview: Three Kinds of RocksLaboratory: Rocks and Minerals 1Laboratory: Rocks and Minerals 1The Rock CycleReview: The Rock CycleUnit 4: Geological HistoryThe history of earth is told in its rocks—how the planet was formed and what changes it has gone through. Students studychanges that have taken place in Earth’s long history, examining geological time and the changes in living things over time. Earth’s HistoryThe Fossil RecordReview: History and Fossil RecordAge of Geologic FeaturesEarth’s History Written in RocksReview: Geological Features and Earth’s HistoryLaboratory: Interpreting Geologic History, Day 1Laboratory: Interpreting Geologic History, Day 2Unit 5: Earth’s Atmosphere Layers in the AtmosphereComposition of the AtmosphereReview: AtmosphereLaboratory: Barometer 1Laboratory: Barometer 2The Sun and EnergySolar RadiationReview: Sun and Solar RadiationTemperature and Air PressureReview: Temperature and Air Pressurewww.k12.com { Pg. 2 }The structure of our atmosphere has a profound effect on earth and its living things. In this unit, students first develop afirm basis for understanding how the sun’s energy is the basis for many of the characteristics of our atmosphere. Knowledgeof how the sun’s energy is used provides the basis for understanding wind and global circulation of air.

Air Circulation Patterns 1Air Circulation Patterns 2Review: Air CirculationLaboratory: Energy Absorption/Reflection 1Laboratory: Energy Absorption/Reflection 2Unit 6: Weather 1The origin of weather and its effects on earth systems and on human life are the focus of student learning in this unit.Students explore what it means to gather weather data and work with weather maps. They learn the factors that influenceweather, cloud formation, and storm development. What Makes the Weather?Review: What Makes the Weather?Gathering Weather DataWeather MapsReview: Weather Maps and DataLaboratory: Weather Map Interpretation 1Laboratory: Weather Map Interpretation 2Cloud FormationHow Storms DevelopReview: Clouds and StormsUnit 7: Semester Review and Test Semester ReviewSemester TestSemester TwoUnit 1: Weather 2 Semester IntroductionClimate vs. WeatherWhat Influences the Weather?Review: Climate and Weather InfluencesLaboratory: Cloud FormationLaboratory: Relative HumidityThe Greenhouse EffectGreenhouse Effect AnalysesReview: Greenhouse EffectClimate ChangePatterns of Climate ChangeReview: Climate ChangeLaboratory: Temperature of Water and Soil 1Laboratory: Temperature of Water and Soil 2www.k12.com { Pg. 3 }The difference between climate and weather are the focus of learning in this unit. Students examine climatic zones, cloudformation, and relative humidity. Students explore the different biomes on earth and the results that the greenhouse effectwill have on earth’s environment. Students confront the issue of climate change.

Unit 2: OceansThe oceans of the world give our earth a unique characteristic among planets in our solar system. In this unit, studentsexplore earth’s water, learn about the properties of ocean water, and see how the physical and biological characteristicsof oceans make our planet unique. Oceans of the WorldChemistry of the OceansReview: Oceans and ChemistryPhysical Properties of SeawaterReview: Physical Properties of SeawaterLaboratory: Ocean Water Density 1Laboratory: Ocean Water Density 2Ocean CurrentsReview: Ocean CurrentsOcean Conditions and LifeReview: Ocean Conditions and LifeLaboratory: Ocean Floor Sediments 1Laboratory: Ocean Floor Sediments 2Unit 3: Cycles on EarthThe materials that make up earth are continuously being recycled. Important nutrients for living things, as well as thecomponents of rock and minerals, are circulated through earth systems over time. Students examine these nutrient cycles,paying particular attention to carbon and water. The concept of a dynamic and ever-changing earth is reinforced in this unit. Biogeochemical CyclesReview: Biogeochemical CyclesCarbon CycleLife and the Carbon CycleReview: Carbon CycleLaboratory: Dissolved Oxygen 1Laboratory: Dissolved Oxygen 2Water CycleReview: Water CycleUnit 4: Astronomy The SunThe Earth–Moon–Sun SystemReview: Sun and The Earth–Moon–Sun SystemLaboratory: Solar EnergyThe Moon’s InfluenceReview: The Moon’s InfluenceEarth Movement and SeasonsReview: Earth Movement and Seasonswww.k12.com { Pg. 4 }By this point in the earth science curriculum, students have a firm basis for understanding earth and its characteristics.Students now look at earth in the broader context of its place in the solar system, the Milky Way, and the universe. Building onthe “big ideas” of astronomy, students develop a strong central basis for understanding earth within the larger context of space.

Where are we headed with regard to those resources needed to sustain modern society? What isand what should be our relationship to fossil fuels, water resources, and issues regarding changes in human populations?
