Earth science
The resources in this collection support teachers and students of Regents Earth Science classes. The instructional materials (at the bottom of the page) address topics relevant across earth and space sciences and are not specifically linked to one unit of the Scope and Sequence. For instructional materials by topic or Regents prep materials, click the collections for geology, meteorology, astronomy, human impact on the environment, and Regents review.
Please note that the files in this collection can not be downloaded from WeTeachNYC because they link out to an external site.
