Regents Physics
This course presents a modern view of physics with emphasis placed on
the fundamental concepts underlying the science. The course encourages utilization of concepts
such as conservation of energy, vectors and scholars and fields as unifying themes rather than
isolated topics. This approach tends to foster an appreciation for the unity of physics.
Regents Chemistry This course of study presents a modern view of chemistry suitable for
students with a wide range of skills and abilities. The topics provide the unifying principles of
chemistry. The principles included are basic to the understanding of how the world works.
Environmental Science This course presents the concepts of chemistry in the context of
everyday life. Rather than a sequential view of chemistry topics, the concepts are introduced as
needed to solve specific problems. The goal of this course is to give students an appreciation of
the applications of chemistry.

Regents Biology
Regents Biology covers topics which are basic to all biological studies and
covers philosophy and theory of many of the areas of biological discoveries that most affect our
lives. There is a survey of the major groups of living things on our planet done in a traditional
"classification" approach to studying organisms. Also included are units on human anatomy,
physiology and Christian philosophy related to our physical, mental and spiritual selves.
Appropriate laboratory exercises which meet New York State regents requirements are included.
General Biology General Biology emphasizes the fundamental unity in the diversity of life
forms which are found in God's creation. Major life processes are covered while using examples
from all five kingdoms of organisms. An everyday approach that uses common analogies is
employed to introduce concepts. Appropriate laboratory exercises are included in the course.
Regents Earth Science This course is a rigorous preparation for the Earth Science Regents
Exam. The five main topics covered include Geology, Meteorology, Oceanography, Astronomy
and Environmental Studies. Students are exposed to evolutionary and creationist models of
geologic history. There is a weekly double period for laboratory and students are expected to
complete well over 30 labs for the course. A lab proficiency exam is given at the end of May.
Students are expected to write a research paper and do supplemental reading. The lectures are
supplemented with films and videos, some of which are from the creationist position.

Science 8
Physical Science is an introduction to Physics and Chemistry giving the students a
weekly laboratory experience. Topics covered in class include, but not exclusively, the scientific
method, technology, the laws of motion, measurement and metrics, mechanical and heat energy,
heat in our world, the nature of matter, classification of matter, atomic structure and the periodic
table, waves, light, sound and energy alternatives. Lectures are supplemented with films and
videos. Classroom demonstrations are presented by the teacher and each student has an
opportunity to conduct a demonstration for the class. Science devotionals are presented to the
class on a regular basis.

Science 7
Science 7 is a skills-oriented course for doing and thinking. It is a science course
that relates life science to everyday life. It emphasizes God as the creator of all life. Appropriate
laboratory exercises are included in the course.
Creation Science This one semester, ½ credit course is an online course designed to equip
students with information about the Biblical and scientific evidence for creation and to
understand the arguments used on both sides of the creation/evolution debate. The student will
be informed of the true nature of God’s creation and learn to demonstrate its proper
interpretation. The course is also intended to glorify God by acknowledging Him as Creator and
assist students in witnessing to others about His creation.
