Planet Earth
The Planet Earth is the
one world in the solar system and perhaps the entire universe where, as
far as we know with any degree of certainty, that the matter of the Cosmos
has become alive and aware. This web site is a resource guide for students
and teachers in connection to the New York State Regents Variance course
entitled "Planet Earth". Join me on a personal exploration through time
and space as we explore this remarkable and awesome world and trace the
origins and destiny of this wonderful planet and its inhabitants.
