More than any other science, Earth and Space Science is about what happens around us every day, the sky that we see above, the weather that we experience, the land that we walk on. Yet most American's know less about Earth Science, and have more misconceptions about it, than any other science.
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS, 2013) have reaffirmed the importance of Earth and Space Science for all students, as was already affirmed by the NGSS predecessor, The National Science Education Standards (1996). Even so, in the United States, Earth Science is rarely taught at the high school level and remains one of the least understood of all the sciences. Even in science fiction, Earth Science is typically relegated to the backdrop, the deadly volcano that erupts wherever it's convenient, the cave to the Earth's core, the weather that can change into a deadly killer in an instant.
We want to change all that! Join us in exploring the universe around us!
