Welcome
Welcome to my Teacher Web Page. Please feel free to browse through the site when you want to know what we are up to in class, what the homework is, what's new in Earth Science and Paleontology. If you want to play science games, review for a test, listen to a podcast, or look at some great student work, this is the place.
Earth Science is part of the New York State Physical Setting curriculum. It is an interesting, but demanding course covering several areas of study, including geology, astronomy, meteorology, and oceanography. These four distinct areas interact with each other in a dynamic and ever-changing environment. Laboratory
work is an integral part of Regents Earth Science and is required before a student may take the Regents Exam. Each student must complete a minimum of twelve hundred minutes of laboratory work.
Paleontology is the study of what fossils tell us about the ecologies of the past, about evolution, and about our place, as humans, in the world. It incorporates knowledge from biology, geology, ecology, anthropology, archaeology, and even computer science to understand the processes that have led to the origination and eventual destruction of the different types of organisms since life arose.
