Natural Environment Content

Module 1: Zoology

Zoology is the study of animals, big and small, wild and tame.

From understanding how birds migrate to why lions hunt in packs, it’s all about getting to know our animal neighbors.

You’ll explore their behaviors, habitats, and how they fit into the bigger picture of life on Earth.

Module 2: Botany

Botany is the science of plants—everything from towering trees to the tiniest mosses. This subject dives into how plants grow, adapt, and even communicate.

It’s a great way to uncover the green engine behind life on Earth, including the food we eat and the air we breathe.

Module 3: Geography

Geography is your guide to understanding the world’s landscapes, cultures, and climates. It’s where maps come to life, showing how mountains, rivers, and cities all connect.

Geography helps you see the Earth as a giant puzzle, with each piece influencing the others.

Module 4: Geology

Geology uncovers the story of Earth’s past, carved into its rocks and minerals. It’s like being a detective, piecing together how mountains formed, volcanoes erupted, and continents shifted. You’ll learn how the ground beneath us shapes our world.

Module 5: Oceanography

Oceanography is all about the mysteries of the deep blue. From coral reefs to ocean currents, it’s where science meets the sea. This subject explores how oceans work, how they affect the planet, and the incredible life hidden beneath the waves.

Module 6: Meteorology

Meteorology is the study of weather and climate—perfect for anyone who’s ever wondered why it rains or how hurricanes form. It’s about understanding the atmosphere, from daily forecasts to global patterns. Get ready to unlock the science behind the sky!
