What We Do |
In Earth Science we use our textbook as a resource to help us understand concepts and ideas in the scientific world. We also watch documentaries and will look at certain articles that pertain to advances in science concerning our topics. Typically we will read, write and discuss science every day of the term! The good news is that we will never run out of topics or ideas to learn about!
