Earth Science is the study of the Earth. Earth Science is important because it helps us to understand how natural forces shape our environment, aids in forecasting potential disasters, provides clues to the past, and helps us access resources as well as understand how to use them wisely.

Incorporation of technology provides students with the opportunity to virtually explore scientific models and simulations that demonstrate what happens over time and/or with changing conditions. Students can easily access real time data as well as current events, in order to apply what they are learning to the world they live in.
