This laboratory-based earth science course can be used for either eighth or ninth grade. Most homeschooled students should be ready for it in eighth grade, but privately- and publicly-schooled students will be more comfortable with it in ninth grade.
Topics covered:

- sections of the geosphere (such as core, mantle, crust, etc.)
- minerals, rocks, and the rock cycle
- plate tectonics
- seismic waves, earthquakes, and volcanoes
- fossils and how both uniformitarians and catastrophists interpret those fossils as well as the sedimentary rocks in which they are found. A discussion that compares uniformitarianism and catastrophism follows, in which the strengths and weaknesses of each view are covered.
