Regents Earth Science
Course Description
Earth Science is an interdisciplinary course that focuses on geology, meteorology, and astronomy and touches on other areas, including geophysics and environmental science. Through the study of rocks, weather, the cosmos, and the processes that form them, students will develop an understanding and appreciation of the earth, its place in the universe and how features such as earthquakes, the seasons, and air masses/fronts provide us with the Earth we experience every day. In addition, we will see how fundamental physical principles, such as density and energy transfer, control of all these processes. This class will conclude with the Earth Science Regents Exam in June. In order to take the NYS Regents Exam in June each student will need to complete 1200 minutes of laboratory time AND take a laboratory exam that is Part D of the Regents Exam. As long as each student comes into class prepared, ready to work, and with an open mind, this class will rock!
