Deeper learning comes from discovery

In this Earth Space Science curriculum you’ll explore 3D models of Earth and its complex systems as they evolve over time, then use prior knowledge and context clues to both ask and answer questions. Meaningful feedback will guide you to understanding.

High school Earth Space Science highlights

  • Immersive 3D simulations provide an interactive and realistic experience, allowing students to explore topics such as weather patterns, erosion processes, and the impact of human activities on delicate ecosystems.
  • Interactive labs allow students to investigate topics such as planetary orbits, plate tectonics, and biodiversity, gaining hands-on experience and fostering a deeper comprehension.
  • Case studies encourage students to dive into real-world scenarios and use their knowledge and analytical abilities to examine and solve problems.
