Earth and Space Science S2 VH


High School Summer School / Virtual Courses -
Summer 2026

High School Earth and Space Science is a NGSS-aligned course that provides a rigorous, phenomenon-based investigation into Earth’s dynamic systems and its place in the universe. Through a storyline-driven approach, students explore topics such as geologic time, plate tectonics, weather and climate systems, natural hazards, resource use, and the impact of human activity on Earth systems. Each unit is anchored in real-world phenomena and fully integrates Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs), Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs), and Crosscutting Concepts (CCCs) to develop conceptual understanding and scientific reasoning. Through hands-on labs, virtual investigations, data analysis, and model-building, students learn to construct explanations, analyze complex data, and design evidence-based solutions. The course supports advanced scientific literacy and prepares students for future STEM studies and careers by fostering a deep understanding of Earth’s past, present, and future.
