Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Eyre
This course is designed for students with an interest in Earth and Space Science. It will include field trips to geological sites in Auckland and the Stardome Observatory. Assessments will allow students to demonstrate their understanding in a range of formats. Students will study aspects of geology, astronomy, issues affecting Earth and society, ocean and atmospheric processes through a wide variety of activities, including research, group work, and modeling.
