Course Description: For this class we will be using Jay Wile’s Discovering Design with Earth Science book. This class will have a lab which is why the extra 40 min. was added to the class as well as the price increase from regular classes. There will be questions to answer with each chapter for homework as well as a test to study for every 6 weeks. We will be studying the geosphere, weathering, minerals, rocks, the Lithosphere, fossils, the Geological Record, Uniformitarianism vs. Catastrophism, the Hydrosphere, the Atmosphere, weather, and our solar system.
*”Students learn about fossils and how both uniformitarians and catastrophists interpret those fossils as well as the sedimentary rocks in which they are found. A discussion that compares uniformitarianism and catastrophism follows, in which the strengths and weaknesses of each view are covered. ” This is a quote from the Berean Builders website about this curriculum.
*You will only need to buy the book. The Student Workbook is not needed.
*If your child has any special needs please contact the teacher prior to the beginning of class.
