This question is at the heart of the Earth Systems Science. In addition to emphasizing the development of a strong knowledge base in areas of physical and earth systems sciences; students gain an understanding of the practice of science through a variety of performance assessments. These performance activities include designing; building; and testing devices that; for example; demonstrate an understanding of the scientific process and the Laws of Thermodynamics. Additionally; students explore Newton?s Laws; the atmosphere; hydrosphere; climate change and the role plate tectonics has played in forming our present day geography on their way to developing a deeper understanding and appreciation of the scientific process.
