NCEA Level 3 Earth and Space Science (3ESS)
Students will study the necessary technological modifications required to enable life in space. This will cover the features of an extreme environment, and the ability of extreme environments to sustain life. They will also research into the possibility of life existing elsewhere in our solar system.
Students will then study Earth Systems by learning about the Atmosphere System and the Ocean System, and how these control the global climate. They will also analyse the affects the climate change is having on these processes.
