Feel the rhythm of the Music of the Spheres...

There is no Planet B - so we should do all that we can to understand the 'pale blue dot' that we call home. From the core, hotter than the surface of the sun, to the vanishingly tenuous thermosphere, we will explore how the different components that make up our home all interact.

Earth Systems

  • Investigate the composition, structure, and features of the geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
  • Investigate how heat from the Sun, the Earth, and human activities is distributed around Earth by the geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
