- Explore the sun's energy and its impact on convection within the atmosphere and oceans
- Gr
- Explore the global patterns of atmospheric movement and their influence on local weather
- Relate past, present, and future geological events to Plate Tectonics
In the Plate Tectonics unit, students:
- Demonstrate how convection in the asthenosphere (mantle) is causing lithospheric (crustal) plate movement
- Describe the movement of convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and transform boundaries
- Relate and describe the movement/boundary to the land features formed, such as volcanic mountains, faults, rift valleys, mid-ocean ridge, and folded mountains
- Explain the theory of Plate Tectonics
In the Environmental Science unit, students:
- Explore ecosystems, conservation, and climate change
- Dive into the natural world with experiments and activities related to air quality, water quality, and the effects of climate change
