Unit 1: Earth System Dynamics

Unit 1: Earth System Dynamics

• Module 1: Earth's Formation: Students track the mechanical chain from a spinning protoplanetary disk through high-speed kinetic accretion.
• Module 2: Earth's Interior: Students isolate seismic shadow zones to calculate absolute velocity drops and verify deep-fluid boundaries.
• Module 3: Earth's Dynamic Engine: Students map planetary thermodynamics, heat transfer, and the resulting physical force generation.

Standards & Compliance Built for Grades 6–12. Fully crosswalked and compliant with NGSS, FL NGSSS, TX TEKS, and VA SOL to seamlessly integrate with state and district voucher frameworks.
