The Earth Science unit is focused on the idea of energy transfer. When you are studying for the unit exam, please make sure that you are understanding the ideas of convection, conduction, and radiation, in the atmosphere and hydrosphere energy transfer. Climate change is a second focus in the unit which we also use to study energy transfer.

We watched two videos for the writing assignment.
The first one was the "Inconvenient Truth" which you can find parts of on Youtube. The second was "The Great Global Swindle" which is linked to youtube.
