MH Geology & Botany - Y3
Science focuses one semester on Geology and the basic concepts of volcanism, sedimentary deposition, and metamorphism. The impact of igneous intrusion, folding and faulting of rock layers, and the effect of water and wind erosion including stream and beach erosion as well as glacial action is developed in this course. Students will be able to recognize many of the basic rocks and minerals as well as using topographic maps and recognizing topographic features. Botany is the focus of the other semester. Students will learn about plant life and the importance of plants in the interactions with the ocean and land regions or biomes. Leaf recognition and tree study are particular areas of focus. Students will develop a leaf collection and an understanding of taxonomy and the binomial nomenclature system.
