Welcome to Earth and Environmental Science! In this class students are introduced to the field of science through discussions, activities, and laboratory exercises. This course will be challenging and you must commit to making the right decisions to succeed in my classroom. I will have high expectations for all of my students. Each day you must be respectful and prepared to learn about why this planet is so special. I will provide links to class notes and assignments on this website. Plan to check this website daily, especially if you are absent or happen to be sick. The topics we will study this semester include: Astronomy, Lithosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere, & Atmosphere. I look forward to getting to know all of you this semester.
