About this class

Welcome to Earth and Environmental

Science! This class will be fun, challenging,
and full of exploration as we study various
topics such as astronomy, geology, biospheres
and much more. As this is a college prep
course, our course load is challenging and
expectations are high. I expect college-level
work, respect, and good attitudes.
