Welcome to Earth Science Regents class. This is an exciting tour of Science as we will build on the knowledge we gained in 6th Grade. New topics to be investigated are, Weather, Earth History, and Mapwork. We will revisit familiar topics ; Rocks and Minerals, Landscape Development, Earthquakes and Volcanoes, The Solar System , Stars and Galaxies, but this time around we will do a more in-depth study of these topics. The Earth Science course requires a thorough knowledge and skill of how to use the Earth Science Reference Tables (ESRT).
