Earth Science 6

The mission of the Science Department is to teach that God is the author of the truth concerning His Creation. The department seeks to instill an appreciation for what has been discovered and a passion to probe for a deeper understanding of God’s creation. Understanding that the scientific method limits itself to natural explanations for natural phenomena, students will be able to discern between facts and assumptions. The department will equip students with solid biblical and scientific foundations so that they are capable of engaging in an intelligent and logical dialogue about the moral and ethical questions that arise with each new scientific discovery as they meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.

Students will explore and experience a variety of areas within the discipline of Earth Science through the use of reading, research, observation, experimentation, discussion, and application. Units of study include the methods of measurements of the scientist, Celestial Sphere, Atmosphere, Lithosphere, and Hydrosphere.
