This course develops students’ understanding of Earth and its place in the universe.
Students will investigate the properties of and forces in the universe and solar system
and analyse techniques scientists use to generate knowledge about them. Students will
closely examine the materials of Earth, its internal and surficial processes, and its
geological history, and will learn how Earth’s systems interact and how they have
changed over time. Throughout the course, students will learn how these forces,
processes, and materials affect their daily lives. The course draws on biology, chemistry,
physics, and mathematics in its consideration of geological and astronomical processes
that can be observed directly or inferred from other evidence.
