We investigate the layered Earth, Earth's motions, and the extraterrestrial bodies in our universe. Individual research projects on different topics are shared with classmates, along with astronomy discussions, activities, and investigations. Using the theories of continental drift and seafloor spreading we investigate the mosaics of the Earth's crust with discussions on how these tectonic plates interact to cause the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that mold our landscape. Our Earth becomes a more cherished place as we understand the life-supporting and destructive forces that are part of our world. |
