Did you know that if the earth had no moon humans never would have come into existence? Were you aware that the largest and deadliest volcano on earth is underneath the United States and is active? Did you know that if you get struck by lightning that you would have something coursing through your body that is five times hotter than the surface of the sun? Have you heard that the Milky Way Galaxy is on a collision course with the Andromeda Galaxy? If these subjects interest you, Earth and Space Science might be the course for you. It is divided into three distinct disciplines: Meteorology, Geology and Astronomy. These subjects will be taught through lectures, oral presentations, films, demonstrations, and several laboratory activities.
