Exploration Science: Field Geology and Mapping: 1 (Adventures in Earth Science)

About Exploration ScienceHave you wondered what the science of geology is all about?Together we will explore of the surface and sub-surface of the Earth the sub-branches of geology including mineralogy petrology (rocks) palaeontology (fossils) geochemistry seismology (earthquakes) engineering geology and many more.The scientific method used by all scientists as well as geologists is explained and its philosophy of investigation by observation and experimentation with deductive reasoning is outlined. You will gain an understanding of measurement and data collection the use of units of measurement scientific notation and general application of the Metric System. Accuracy validity and reliability of measurement and observation is also included.Practical research outdoors in the field is supported by some skill videos and the application of geological mapping as well as research ideas.Join us in this introduction to the fascinating world on which we live!
