Description:
The Virtual High School (VHS) project is a collaborative of high schools from around the country. In exchange for contributing a small amount of teaching time, a school in the collaborative can offer its students NetCourses ranging from advanced academic courses to technical and specialized courses. (See web site for more information.)

In Earth Dynamics, Students develop an appreciation for the forces that shape the dynamic earth. Students will do research using the internet as a resource base. They will collect and analyze data, and draw conclusions from their research. Topics include earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, rocks and minerals, and exploring Earth's weather.
