EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE REGENTS - 04206 - 1 CREDIT *
EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE LAB - 04206-L (EOD)
Prerequisite: Life Science: Biology
Credit: Science
Description: This course follows the curriculum outlined by the New York State Science Learning Standards, focusing equally on the Disciplinary Core Ideas, Cross Cutting Concepts and Science and Engineering Practices. Students will explore a range of phenomena throughout the course to build a foundation in the following concepts: Space Systems; History of the Earth; Earth's Systems; Weather and Climate; and Human Sustainability. This is a course of study designed to engage students in investigating their world and integrating scientific principles and attitudes to gain a new understanding of the world around them, and the processes of change. An inquiry-oriented approach is used to study meteorology, geology, plate tectonics and astronomy. This course uses Earth and Space Science as a means for learning how to interpret observations, reason from observation, and apply the concepts learned. This course provides a strong foundation for Chemistry, Physics and upper level electives. This is a laboratory-based program that requires students to draw inferences, analyze data and interpret the environment. Students that satisfy the NYS laboratory requirement, above, will be eligible to take the Regents exam in Earth and Space Science in June. Students need access to a scientific (not graphing) calculator for this course.
EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE SUPPORT LAB - 04206-E- 1/2 CREDIT (EOD)
Prerequisite: Currently enrolled in Earth and Space Science
Credit: Elective
Description: This academic support lab provides an opportunity for students to develop a deeper and more thorough understanding of the course content through new and unique learning experiences. Students will apply the content and skills that they have learned to practical and real-world scenarios. Through participation in these labs, students will develop and strengthen the skills that will lead to a strong foundation in the course. This course is designed for those students who have had academic difficulty passing Life Science: Biology.
EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE HONORS - 04211 - 1 CREDIT *
EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE HONORS LAB - 04211-L (EOD)
Prerequisite: Life Science: Biology and Teacher Recommendation
Credit: Science*
Description: This advanced course is designed for students who have strong motivation and interest in science and a proven record of high performance in previous science courses. The curriculum is similar to Regents Earth and Space Science but topics are covered in substantially more depth and supplemented with a variety of long-term activities, advanced laboratory work, and additional content to prepare students for advanced coursework in their junior or senior year. Laboratory activities related to all areas of the curriculum will be completed. Students that satisfy the NYS laboratory requirement, above, will be eligible to take the Regents exam in Earth and Space Science in June. Students need access to a scientific (not graphing) calculator for this course.
