Compass Prep

This science course is an excellent course for those just entering high school and maybe suitable for some older “reluctant” science students. Topics covered will include an introduction to the scientific method, geology, minerals and rocks, geologic processes, oceanography, the atmosphere, weather and climate, our solar system, the stars, celestial bodies, mankind’s investigations in space, and a brief overview of environmental science. Students will also learn about technical writing, lab documentation, data presentation and graphs, lab reports, ethics in science, and careers in science. Students should be able to read and study independently; homework is required to complete this course successfully. Daily reading assignments, class discussions, labs, research projects, current events, quizzes, and tests will be used to assess student progress.
