This document outlines an Earth Science pacing guide divided into 8 units covering topics like astronomy, meteorology, climate, geology, water, energy, the biosphere, and human impacts. Unit 1 addresses the formation of the universe, Kepler's laws, and seasons. Unit 2 covers the atmosphere, heat transfer, humidity, clouds, precipitation, air pressure, winds, and air masses. Unit 3 examines global climates and the natural and human factors that influence climate, including global warming.
