Course Description
The Earth Systems Georgia Standards of Excellence are designed to continue student
investigations that began in K-8 Earth Science and Life Science curricula on the connections
among Earth’s systems through Earth history. These systems – the atmosphere, hydrosphere,
geosphere, and biosphere – interact through time to produce the Earth’s landscapes, ecology, and
resources. These standards engage the students in constructing explanations of phenomena
fundamental to the sciences of geology and physical geography, including the early history of the
Earth, plate tectonics, landform evolution, the Earth’s geologic record, weather and climate, and
the history of life on Earth.
