    Description
    ESCI 002 is your gateway to understanding our amazing planet. In a supportive and encouraging setting, you will gain an understanding of the physical processes that have shaped, and continue to shape, our world. We will study the connections and interactions between Earth's four "spheres", the hydrosphere (water), the atmosphere (air), the biosphere (living), and the lithosphere (land). This course welcomes everyone, with a central focus on preparing students for K-12 careers teaching Earth and Space Sciences.
