CD
Receiving your course material on CD-ROM is our most popular method (this gives students portability - some even take their CD’s with them on holidays!). The course material may also be copied and saved to a USB stick, as well as downloading, printing and binding the lessons into a folder for you to organise. CD’s are also an excellent choice for people who have a computer but do not have internet access or have a slow connection.
Online
Online students require a reliable internet connection. Our Student Study Zone allows you to view all of your course material online, anywhere in the world. Students can watch videos, read notes and study illustrations on the computer screen then complete self assessment quizzes to gauge their learning.
Correspondence
Course material may be supplied in a printed format. Students work through notes, practical tasks and assignments. The student is guided by a printed study guide and accompanying materials as well as advice and feedback from tutors. Assignments are submitted to tutors for grading and feedback, and exams can be taken anywhere in the world.

Earth Science BEN204
Course Structure: Earth Science BEN204
- Structure and Forces
- Rocks and Minerals
- Surface Changes
- The Oceans
- Air and Weather - Meteorology intro, etc.
- The Greenhouse Effect
- Global Weather Patterns
- Geological Time
- Modern Environmental Issues
Aims: Earth Science BEN204
- Describe the major structural elements of Earth and the major internal forces which affect them.
- Classify rocks and minerals according to their characteristics and formation.
- Explain external processes that that cause topographic and soil changes on the earth's surface.
- Describe the oceans of the earth and their role in global processes.
- Describe the earth's atmosphere and the forces which create weather.
- Describe some well known effects of particular atmospheric conditions like the Greenhouse effect.
- Identify global weather patterns and their relationship to different climates.
- Describe the way in which the earth's surface has changed over time.
- Identify environmental issues which are of current significance.
What you will be doing during this Course
- Research how a mountain/mountain range in or near your region was formed.
- Explain plate tectonics.
- Collect and classify rock samples as either sedimentary rock, igneous rock, or metamorphic rock.
- Describe four ways that weathering breaks down rocks to help form soil.
- Explain how the speed of a stream affects the shape of the landscape.
- Name the three main layers of the ocean, describe the characteristics and ocean life in each.
- Keep a record of atmospheric and weather changes in your environment.

Take a journey into the
fascinating world of earth science and learn about the dynamic forces
that shape the world you see today. Learn about the science behind
current environmental issues such as global warming and greenhouse
gasses, investigate the complex interactions that drive climate and
environmental conditions throughout the world.
In Earth Science you will develop an ability to identify and describe
the Earth, its structure and explain processes that affect change in the
structure and composition of the earth. Learn about rocks and minerals,
meteorology, global weather patterns, the oceans, surface chances (eg.
earthquakes and volcanoes), geological time and more while studying at
your own pace in the privacy of your own home.
Study this for either general interest or as a foundation for a
career. Earth science related industries including geology, mining,
atmospheric sciences, etc.are growing rapidly. Never has this course
been more timely.
Each lesson culminates in an assignment which is submitted to the Academy, marked by the Academy's tutors and returned to you with any relevant suggestions, comments, and if necessary, extra reading.
