About Earth Science

The North Carolina 2023 K-12 Science Standards are intended to foster conceptual understanding and help develop scientifically literate and curious students. 

This year we will be focusing on the North Carolina Earth and Environmental Science standards. Earth and Environmental science is a fascinating course with a broad reaching curriculum. We will begin our semester studying the formation of our solar system and it’s structure. By the conclusion of this course students will have learned about the systems that sustain our Earth’s climate, the impacts of living things on the Earth, and sustainability issues that arise across the planet due to various factors.
