EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE REGENTS LAB - 04206-L
Prerequisite: Life Science: Biology or teacher recommendation
Credit: Science
Description: This course of study is designed to engage students in investigating their world and integrating scientific principles and attitudes. Students will 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 is a laboratory-based program that requires students to draw inferences, analyze data and interpret the environment. This course provides a strong foundation for Chemistry, Physics and upper level electives. 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.
