Pacific Coast Academy - Elevate

Overview

Students will explore the interconnected systems that makeup planet Earth. They will investigate the geosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), atmosphere (air), and biosphere (living things), and learn how these systems interact and influence one another. Students will examine the cycling of matter and flow of energy through Earth's systems, and analyze how human activities can impact the delicate balance of these systems. Through hands-on activities, research, and data analysis, students will develop a deeper understanding of the complex processes that sustain life on our dynamic planet.

A work sample opportunity will be provided. Recommended for grades 6-12, but all students are welcome.
