A-G Earth Science Lab
Class | Available
This two-semester lab course is designed to complement any earth science curriculum, and students may join at any time.
Each lab session begins with a brief lecture to equip students with the knowledge needed to engage in the lab activities with understanding. Occasionally, students will be assigned preparatory work to complete at home to enhance their readiness for upcoming labs.
Students are expected to actively participate in the labs and will receive grades based on their work and engagement.
Please note that this course focuses exclusively on the lab component of an earth science curriculum. Students should supplement this course with their own earth science studies at home, using any textbook of their choice.
Check with your school to ensure this lab course will comply with a-g requirements.
