    Description
    This is an inquiry-based Earth Science course that fulfills general education requirements for students aspiring to become elementary school teachers. Students will develop a meaningful understanding of geology, oceanography, meteorology and solar system astronomy through lecture and laboratory activities. An earth-systems approach will be emphasized to explain natural phenomena that impact human societies. The course will cover the breadth and depth of Earth Science topics covered in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Included with the class is a required field trip to acquaint the student with field examples of topics covered in the class. Note: Geology 10 is not designed to meet the requirements for Geology or Earth Science majors.
