Science With Ms. Burns

Earth and Environmental Science

 

Welcome to Earth and Environmental Science! This course is all about the study of the Earth, it’s place in the universe, and how we can protect our environment in the future. We will split the information covered in this course into eight units. Each unit will contain class work, labs, homework, and will end in a notebook check and a test. The final exam for this course will be the NC Final Exam. I am looking forward to working with students and families to ensure students are successful this school year!
