While elements of geology, astronomy, physical geography, and environmental sciences were taught in schools at the turn of the 20th century, today's Earth science courses are a recent addition to K-12 education.
Science teaching at academies, however, was not always of high quality and often consisted of courses as short as six weeks, with inadequately prepared teachers and poor or non-existent textbooks.
The 219 remaining chapters were coded to match the four Earth science themes resulting in 120 chapters devoted to geology, 34 to meteorology, 23 to oceanography, and 42 to space sciences.
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.
