SCI0900: Earth Science

Course Description

This year-long course allows students to explore the Earth and its place in the universe. Students examine the earth’s structure, topography, rocks, minerals, weather, natural events, oceans, and climate and how these have contributed to the planet’s geologic history. Earth’s specific and deliberate position in the universe is examined so that students can analyze the rationale behind the scriptural truth of Creation and the secular explanations of how and when Earth began. Students are expected to write a researched essay to contrast a secular view with a biblical view related to the geologic impact of Noah’s Flood. Students use a customized at-home lab kit to complete lab experiments and activities in conjunction with the course. This course requires the purchase of an at-home physical lab kit in order to perform the labs for this course. A lab fee will be assessed automatically during Financial Check-In, and the fee is also listed on the fees page. The kit will be shipped from the first day of class and should arrive at your home within the first two weeks after the course start date. Please ensure that an accurate shipping address is on file during Financial Check-In as that will be the address to which the lab kit is shipped.
