Course Description:
Earth Science is a laboratory course designed to serve as a foundation course for other high school science courses. It emphasizes inquiry-based learning, process skills, and higher order thinking skills. Instruction is based on the SC Science Curriculum Standards, where that content will be interwoven within multiple case studies throughout the semester. Because experimentation is the basis of science, laboratory investigations are an integral part of this course. Investigative, hands-on laboratory activities that address the high school inquiry standards are central to effective instruction in this course.
