• Grade 8: Regents Physical Setting / Earth Science


    This course is a one year preparation for the Regents Earth Science Exam in grade 8.
    Assessment and selection for this course is made by the seventh-grade science
    teachers.


    Beginning the high school science sequence in eighth grade leads to opportunities to expand into our Advanced Placement courses and/or our three-year Scientific Research Program. Non-accelerated students may also take these courses in high school.

    Regents Earth Science is an activity-based program that follows the Core Content for
    Physical Setting: Earth Science in the study of the Earth’s dimensions, geology, plate
    tectonics, landscape development, geologic history, meteorology, water cycles and
    climate, the Earth in space, and environmental awareness.
