2. Classroom Expectations Lanier Middle School Earth Science Mrs. Wilson, 1.138

7. Earth Science: but maybe we should call our class Earth and Space Science!

8. Why Study Earth Science?

9. There are five big parts to our year! Oceanography Hydrology Meteorology Astronomy Geology Let’s take a quick look at each! Energy Resources

10. We will begin the year with Geology!

18. Some topics will be: wallpapers-box.uv.ro Ocean water Waves on the ocean The ocean floor geology.ucdavis.edu/

20. Next we will look at Meteorology This is the study of the air and our weather.

21. mypage.bluewin.ch Tornadoes! newsfromrussia.com Hurricanes ! weatherquestions.com Thunderstorms! We will discover why these things happen.

22. In the spring, we will study Astronomy.

23. Astronomy is the study of our solar system and everything found outside it! That's a lot of stuff!

24. Objects in the Solar System (NASA.gov)

25. Objects outside the Solar System (NASA.gov) Nebula Galaxies Stars

26. So hang on for an amazing year of earth and space science!
