This section of Earth Science 110 is targeted at students in our TeacherTRAC program who plan to teach at the K-8 level, although it is open to students in other majors. This course provides a survey of the earth sciences, and will include some information from geology, oceanography, meteorology and the astronomy of the solar system.
Emphasis is on understanding the earth as an integrated system.
For Spring 2001 this section of ESCI 110 is linked to EDT 4, Internet in the Curriculum. You must sign up for EDT 4 if you wish to enroll in this section of ESCI 110. Exciting new discoveries are currently being made in planetary astronomy, and we plan to use Internet resources in the laboratory to tap into this information. The comparison of Earth with the other planets and moons will thus provide the central theme for this section of Earth Science 110. Course Requirements .
