到達目標


M3 Science 2 is a junior high school Earth Science course, combining elements of geography, geology, climate science, astronomy and cosmology. In this course, we will study all about the big blue marble we call Earth. You will learn what it’s made from, where it came from, what makes it tick and what its place is in the universe. At the end of this course you should have a greater understanding and appreciation for the geological processes and time scales which are responsible for the air we breathe and the ground beneath your feet.

授業の進め方・学習方法


This course is taught through a combination of classes and laboratory experiments. There will be two hours of classes and one hour of labs per week. Lesson materials will be based on a translated version of the domestic Earth Science textbook. All lessons and labs will be conducted entirely in English and students should make every effort to use English during their daily studies.

担当者からのアドバイス


Earth Science will be a new area of study for every student in this class. As we will have to get through an entire book in one short year, it is important that you keep up with the lessons and understand the material well before moving on. For this reason, make sure that you ask all the questions you need to. Talk and share your ideas with each other. Find out and learn together. And most important of all: don’t be afraid to ask for help.
