Earth and Environmental Science
Earth and Environmental Science (EES) at Sydney Technical High School investigates the dynamic nature of the Earth and its place in the universe. The course focuses on geological, biological, atmospheric, and hydrospheric systems, and the interactions between them.
Students develop an understanding of:
Earth’s natural processes and resources
Environmental sustainability and human impacts
Scientific methods used in fieldwork, lab work, and remote sensing
The evolution of Earth and life through geological time
EES is an interdisciplinary science that appeals to students with interests in geography, environmental science, sustainability, climate science, geology, and related fields. The course is highly practical, with strong emphasis on fieldwork and real-world application.
Through regular practical investigations, data analysis, and Depth Studies, students build their ability to think scientifically and solve environmental problems with evidence-based reasoning.
