Description:

In this activity you will review material before taking the test. Some of the areas you need to study are.

1.	Learning the different fields of Earth science which are:
		Astronomy Geology Hydrology Meteorology
2.	Learn the scientific method used by scientists to learn about the Earth.
		Remember early scientist used observations to make predictions. Remember early tools of scientist like the sextant.
3.	Discover how to read maps and learn how scientists use them.
		Know the different types of maps. Know what information that maps measure. Know the limitations of maps.
4.	Recognize major process of Earth science:
		Conduction, Convection, and Radiation for Energy Transfer. The rock cycle goes from sedimentary, metamorphic, to igneous as you increase pressure and temperature. How to calculate density and the density of water.

So once you have studied the above listed areas you will be ready for the online test in Apex.

In the picture at right you can see some of the major areas of study that we have covered. From the big bang, to planet formation, to how our solar system looks to how the Earth fits into the big picture. So go back and check out some of the links that have been provided and get ready for that test.
