5/6 Earth Science

Mr. Ortega

I look forward to working through the wonders of God’s creation – our Earth and beyond! I believe that God created us with inquiring minds. Studying our incredible planet should leave us in awe and wonder at the majesty of our Creator. My goal in teaching is to both inform and inspire, and I will work very hard to do both this year. Thank you for the opportunity to serve them and you. We will be studying the Lithosphere, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, and the Weather patterns of our planet. Then we will talk about our Solar System, the Milky Way Galaxy, and what little we know about the Universe.
