Nearly everything we do each day is connected in some way to Earth: to its land, oceans, atmosphere, plants, and animals. The food we eat, the water we drink, our homes and offices, the clothes we wear, the energy we use, and the air we breathe are all grown in, taken from, surround, or move through the planet. By 2025, eight billion people will live on Earth.
If we are to continue extracting resources to maintain a high quality of life, then we, as individuals and citizens, need to know more about our planet — its processes, its resources, and its environment. Through this course, students will be able to understand and appreciate our complex planet and its relationship to other objects in space.

Classroom Details
As you may know by now, our school is a digital school in Orange County. This translates into no paper textbook at home. The textbook and some of the classwork will be done electronically. We will still be doing laboratory investigations pair with digital investigations and plenty group work.
This website will be use to post instructions, assignments and all classwork, test reviews, projects and others. Every student is expected to check it often and follow all of the instructions to stay current with the class material and assignments, especially in case of absences.
