Earth Science<br />

Rationale:<br />

The <strong>Lindbergh</strong> High <strong>School</strong> Earth Science Curriculum has been designed to allow students to explore and discover the world around<br />

them. In order for the students of today to make informed decisions tomorrow, they must have a good understanding of the Earth has<br />

changed over time, the processes that are responsible for those changes, and how humans are impacting our planet. Students, in<br />

attaining scientific literacy, will be able to demonstrate their newly found knowledge by exhibiting creative problem solving,<br />

reasoning, and informed decision making.<br />

Course Description:<br />

This course is for students interested in studying geology, meteorology, and oceanography. Some of the topics include rock types and<br />

history, plate tectonics, mapmaking, weather/climate patterns and ocean currents. The course content will be presented through<br />

lecture, individual and group projects, videos, labs, and computer based research. This is a lab-based course.<br />
