About This Activity
Join Science Jim for a fun hands-on quest to understand the Science of the Earth and its place in space. Earth Science is all about understanding the Earth as a matrix of wonderful interactive spheres. We will learn about the atmosphere: the water cycle, clouds and meteorology (weather). We will learn about the lithosphere: rocks, minerals and plate tectonics. Last but not least, we will learn about our place in space: seasons, moon phases, our solar system and beyond. This two hour class will include hands-on labs, homework, quizzes and grades. The material in this class is an excellent pre-cursor to high-school level material.
