Curriculum

Our curriculum is based on recognizing the Earth System as a set of interactions between the various spheres that comprise the Earth and how those suite of activities affect climate change. Each week, we will focus on a "sphere" and explore the basic principles and theory through experiments and activities. The week pertaining to the geosphere, for example, will discuss how the action of tectonic plates bring up land and gases, as well as how long it takes for decomposition and sedimentation to store Carbon in the ground.
