Explore the universe that God created and investigate how it all works perfectly together to create the world we live in.  This course will use a zoom-in approach as it begins with outer space, the galaxies, and the solar system; it moves to the atmosphere and weather and the complex oceans; finally, the course culminates with the amazing layers of the earth.  This is a quest to understand the world that God has created.

This class is designed to teach and implement a variety of important skills needed in high school including:

• Research Skills - A guided project is assigned in which the students research, form, and execute an action plan in addition to writing an essay.
• Study Skills - by exploring how the student learns best and by reinforcing the information in a variety of ways.
• Note-Taking Skills - worksheets become more interactive and students learn to record important notes from the lecture.
• Public Speaking / Oral Reporting Skills - the students share their researched information when they do a formal presentation with their project.
• Lab Skills - developed during the exploratory labs and investigations.
• Critical Thinking Skills - class discussion, higher-thinking questions, lab analysis, and conclusions.

The lecture introduces the topic and prepares the students for the laboratory exercises and testing.

Homework:  45 min - 1 hour / day
