This web site provides free-to-use Earth science curriculum for high school teachers, students, and parent-guardians. Earth science is sometimes called geoscience. It is a widely embraced term for the fields of science related to the planet Earth.
Earth science and space science have a great deal of overlap. Earth science is a branch of planetary science.
The Earth sciences includes several sub-disciplines such as geology, hydrology, and weather. Other emerging disciplines of study include ecology, glaciology, and climatology.
Earth scientists use tools from many disciplines. Geography, physics, soil science, chemistry, biology, and mathematics are each an important part in fully understanding Earth science.
This site provides over 40 Earth Science’s topics. Content provided may be used as stand-alone material. Alternatively, each topic can serve as a supplement to school-provided textbooks and other reference material.
