MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGY ACADEMY
EARTH & SPACE SCIENCE
Earth and Space Science is a laboratory science course where, through experimentation and investigation, students will master a broad curriculum that gives them a comprehensive understanding of Earth & Space science (See Course Content). The course curriculum covers the material in the Earth and Space Science/Science and Engineering Strands of the Next Generation Science Standards and the corresponding Next Generation Science Performance Expectations have been included for each unit. In addition, example lab and research activities that students will be conducting throughout each unit have been specified in order to provide an example(s) of the type of work that will be required. Inquiry-based performance tasks, labs, and activities are the cornerstone way curriculum is introduced and taught in this course and engineering practices and designs will be incorporated.
As part of the Multimedia Technology Academy, students will demonstrate mastery of course content through digital design and video production. Students will be instructed in use of color and composition in support of the academy focus.
