Students learn about all the sections of the geosphere (such as core, mantle, crust, etc.) and then they study each in more detail.\u00a0 When studying the earth\u2019s crust, they learn about minerals, rocks, and the rock cycle.\u00a0 Plate tectonics is then covered, which leads to a discussion of seismic waves, earthquakes, and volcanoes.\u00a0 Students then learn about fossils and how both uniformitarians and catastrophists interpret those fossils as well as the sedimentary rocks in which they are found.\u00a0 A discussion that compares uniformitarianism and catastrophism follows, in which the strengths and weaknesses of each view are covered.<\/p>\n

After that, the hydrosphere is discussed.\u00a0 Students first learn the properties of water such as polarity, the ability to hydrogen bond, and heat capacity.\u00a0 That leads to a discussion of the hydrologic cycle and residence time.\u00a0 Students then learn about the waves, currents, and tides in the ocean.\u00a0 They then move on to the ice reservoirs on the earth and then the freshwater reservoirs.\u00a0 Water in the air is the last part of the hydrosphere that is covered.\u00a0 The atmosphere is then discussed, including the composition of air, the sections of the atmosphere, temperature gradients, and pollutants.\u00a0 This leads to a discussion of weather.\u00a0 The course ends with two chapters on space, one that covers the solar system and one that covers the universe as a whole.<\/p>\n

There are roughly 55 hours of laboratory instruction in the course.\u00a0\u00a0A kit that contains<\/a>\u00a0specific minerals, rocks, and fossils allows students to do very detailed experiments related to the geosphere.\u00a0 These include mineral tests, rock analyses, fossil studies, density investigations, and magnetic property explorations.\u00a0 Students also get hands-on experience with waves, gases, wind, water purification, cloud formation, the Coriolis effect, precipitation, and acid\/base interactions.\u00a0 Please see the product resources link for contents of the kit, household items needed, and an overview of the experiments.<\/p>\n
