Hmmm, IIRC, I took astronomy and earth science classes around 7th + 8th
grade - High School was when the hard core bio/chem/physics kicked in.
Granted, this was so long ago that in astronomy we learned about the 6
planets in the solar system. Is that how things still go today,
schedule-wise?
Just curious,
