Welcome Back!!! Earth Systems is a class in which the theme of “systems” is used to

and water (the hydrosphere). In addition to learning about these subjects in the classroom,
we will have a fall field trip to the Environmental Center, prepare science fair projects for
competition, and test the water quality of the Ogden Valley.
Students & parents please read over the class details and initial each section.
How are grades calculated?
