Semester 2: Examine ecosystems, climate change, and Earth’s place in the universe through interactive science.
Semester 2 of 2 – Earth Science (MS) explores how a number of sciences affect the processes on Earth and in space. In this interactive and engaging course, students study air, water, and the processes that shape the physical world, as well as how human civilization has impacted the balance of nature. Students begin by learning the method of studying the natural world called the scientific method. They also learn about how the scientific method is applied to technology development. Next, they will explore the structure and processes of matter, which is important for understanding the processes on Earth. Students learn about Earth’s structure and how forces have changed the surface over time. They will also examine how those same forces create mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes. Students will look at how fossils formed and the information scientists get from them. The course then covers how weather events happen, especially severe storms, and how they can be predicted. Students will explore ecosystems and how they are disrupted by human activity. They will then look at the forces that determine an area’s climate and how global climates are changing. Finally, students will learn about Earth’s place in the universe with an introduction to astronomy.

The process is simple:
All courses are asynchronous, meaning students may work independently with all-inclusive, self-contained courses. Our curriculum includes multiple learning tools to engage every kind of learner, including videos, visuals, and plenty of practice – especially in math courses! Our goal is to provide learning opportunities that meet the needs of students in any situation, meaning flexibility is core to what we do.
If your student would like to meet live with their teacher, they can always request a Personalized Live Session (PLI). PLIs give the student a chance to ask specific questions in a one-on-one format. We also have office hours for each subject daily, where a student may jump into a Zoom room with one of our full-time teachers.
