This ambitious course in Earth Science is the first of its kind. DJ Lake guides students through challenging scientific concepts, explaining them clearly and easily. Starting billions of years ago at the beginning of time, the course brings students right to the present day. It lifts the veil on why the Earth works as it does, how we know what we know about the planet, and how all this affects the daily experience of the world.

This course is an introduction to Earth Science topics through the history of geology and chemistry. It is designed to give students knowledge of why and how we know what we know in Earth Science. If students are looking for a course that will teach them identification of common rocks & minerals, they may find another course more appropriate, as the focus here is on big-picture ideas.

The course will answer fundamental questions such as: How are mountains made? Why do oceans exist? What is a crystal? How old is the Earth? and many more.
