Job 37:14b-16 - "stop and consider God's wonders. Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash? Do you know how the clouds hang poised; those wonders of him who has perfected knowledge?"

God, in his awesome power, has created several fascinating, intense, and sometimes terrifying features in nature - from extreme weather, to natural disasters, to animals with crazy cool abilities, to a massively expansive universe. We will learn about these stunning components of God's creation through lectures, videos, vocabulary, data tracking, labs, and projects. We will cover meteorology basics (including weather tracking), atmospheric science, natural disasters (everything from tornadoes to volcanoes), historical disasters, extreme biology, and astronomy. 

Homework time expected: 1-2 hours per week
