Star Academics Science Courses
Earth Science (grade 7 – 8)
“One small step for man, one giant step for mankind…” The greatness of God’s earth when gazed upon from space cannot be denied. Science is not just a collection of facts, but a process of historically important events, structures, and action that can be observed in or from the earth. Dynamic class discussion includes topics such as geology, oceanography, atmosphere, weather, astronomy, space exploration, and environmental science.
