The forces that shape our earth also shape the universe as a whole - from the big bang to today, and beyond.
Earth Science contains a LOT of different topics; what we cover will depend on which wheel we're in! For example, in Wheel 1 we'll be learning about astronomy and the history of the universe; in future wheels we'll study maps, water quality, disasters, landforms, and global climate change.
