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, 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 – Students will learn to study, and information will be reinforced 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 – Observational and analyzing skills will be developed during the exploratory labs and investigations.
• Critical thinking skills - Class discussions, higher-thinking questions, lab analysis, and conclusions will be part of each class.
