Introduction to Geoscience 431 10-12 2 1
Introduction to Geoscience is designed to aid the junior or senior student in attaining a broader knowledge of the physical world in which they live. This includes both the physical aspects of our world in combination with our universe. By understanding the physical world students will be able to understand the changes that affect the system as a whole. Through reading, discussion, computer research, current events projects, and engineering students will gain a better understanding of the significance of the basic principles of geology, meteorology, oceanography, and astronomy in their everyday lives.
