Astronomy / Meteorology & Oceanography
All courses are semester length.
232 - METEOROLOGY/OCEANOGRAPHY
Semester • 1/2 credit • Fee • Grades 10, 11, 12 • Prerequisite: Earth Science A or Integrated Science
The focus of this course will be on understanding the phenomena that occur on a daily basis in our oceans and how they relate to changes in our atmosphere. Special emphasis will be placed on plate tectonics, ocean currents, ocean exploration, and the effects the ocean has on climate included with analysis of weather data and climactic changes, as well as atmospheric phenomena. Computer literacy will be developed by implementing Internet weather data banks.
234 - ASTRONOMY
Semester • 1/2 credit • Fee • Grades 10, 11, 12 • Prerequisite: Earth Science A or Integrated Science
Astronomy is a semester course that will focus on the study of our cosmos. Through a combination of laboratory activities, short and long term projects, and other daily class work, the student will review and further expand on the scientific principles of our solar system, galaxy, and universe. Special emphasis will be placed on the history of astronomy, structures in space, and theories behind our world’s beginning and interrelationships with the rest of space.
