Lab requirements Critical to understanding science concepts is the use of scientific inquiry to develop explanations of natural phenomena. Therefore, as a prerequisite for admission to the Regents examination in Physical Setting/Earth Science, students must have successfully completed 1200 minutes of laboratory experience with satisfactory written reports for each laboratory investigation.* We will participate in the production of 30 hours of lab time. *New York State Education Regulations for Regents Class

Lab requirements One cannot take the regents if lab requirements are not met. May a school administrator or teacher exempt a student from the laboratory requirement?  No. All students must complete the laboratory requirement.  Students who are hospitalized, homebound, or home-schooled may be given comparative laboratories or alternative laboratories. * http://www.p12.nysed.gov/part100/pages/policyqascience.html
