1 Earth Science A Academy of the Inland Empire Grade level: 9-12 Credit value: 5 credits Required Texts/Readings Textbook Tarbuck, Lutgens. Earth Science: For California. Boston: Pearson Prentice Hall, ISBN Course Description In this course you will learn about the materials that make up the earth, how the earth is sculpted, the forces within the earth and California s natural resources and hazards. You will be using the Earth Science: for California text book published by Prentice Hall. This course will provide you with 5 physical science credits.
