Branches of Earth Science

Today we went over the four branches of Earth science (astronomy, meteorology, geology and oceanography) and the four systems of Earth (the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere).

With the information given, you were to make a graphic organizer to help you identify and better remember these systems/branches. 

For each branch you needed to include in your organizer the name, definition, an example and a drawing that related to the branch. For the system you did the same and also added an example of how the system interacted with one of the other three systems.

The majority of you did not finish for class and were asked to finish it for homework.

The vocabulary for this section is as follows:

astronomy, meteorology, geology, oceanography, lithosphere, asthenosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere
