 Wow! I'm so excited. We're going to have a great year. Earth Science is such a 

 

 fun subject. You're being provided with 3 versions of the text, a Textbook, an 

 

 online copy and an online Study support with tests and quizzes. 

 

 We'll begin our class by opening up the Study.com APP and preview the   textbook contents. Study.com doesn't fully correlate with the textbook. I will be   modifying the curriculum as we proceed through the year. 

 Lets look at the 1st video together.

      •  Directions: Open up the text and go to Chapter 1, The World of     Earth  Science. There are 8 lessons, listed below, in Chapter 1. The   textbook does not have lesson 8. We will do Lesson 8 together. After   completing each lesson, 1-7, take the quiz. I will monitor your   progress daily and will be adding great Labs to the lessons. I will   always suppliment the lessons with 'one on one' instruction. You   will  take the Chapter Test with me during class.
