Lana Grossberg Vol. Both Ms. Stark and Ms. Grossberg praised the preparation and academic performance of all teams and wished them luck as they enter the final round. Below is the schedule for our last day. Prizes for the Academic Olympics will be awarded at the luncheon. Applications will be distributed for the fall shortly.
Topics range from fossils to space craft, and are related to climatic process.
By explaining climatic changes on both a geological and human time scale, the course teaches students about natural climatic changes and human induced changes. The course begins by explaining the basics. Using this knowledge as a foundation, students will then begin their study of climatic history. These two topics open windows into the Earth's climatic past, because they contain evidence of previous climatic conditions. Then the subject matter leaps forward to present day astronomical explanations of climatic patterns.
