 Regents Biology is a regents
level science course which is a graduation requirement in New York State.
The content of the course is based on the NYS Living Environment Core
Curriculum. A regents exam, called "The Living
Environment," is the final evaluation for the course.
The course meets 7 periods per
week, one period three days per week and two periods two days per
week. Students either have the double periods on A or B days, but
not Fridays.
The Living Environment Regents
given in June will be calculated as 20% of the final course grade.
The chart below represents the
sequence that is followed in Mrs. Kilmartin's Regents Biology course.
