Hands On Investigations
& Labs
Bring Earth Science to life with engaging, classroom-tested investigations designed to move beyond passive learning. Students actively model Earth processes, analyze real-world data, build scientific explanations, and participate in hands-on experiments, simulations, gallery walks, station labs, and collaborative activities that make complex concepts meaningful and memorable.
All investigations are designed with realistic classroom implementation in mind using accessible materials, structured teacher supports, and clear connections to NYSSLS performance expectations and the ESSRT.
Regents Style Assessments
Prepare students for the rigor of the NYSSLS Earth & Space Science Regents with comprehensive, classroom-tested assessments designed around authentic cluster-based questioning, CER writing, data analysis, and real-world scientific phenomena. Each unit includes quizzes, full-length Regents-style exams, review sheets, detailed answer keys, and editable formats built to support a variety of classroom schedules and instructional models.
These assessments emphasize critical thinking, evidence-based reasoning, ESSRT interpretation, and multi-step problem solving to build student confidence throughout the entire school year.
ESSRT
Mastery System
Help students build confidence with every page of the 2024 Earth & Space Science Reference Tables through a complete collection of scaffolded, chart-based practice worksheets designed specifically for the NYSSLS Regents course. Covering all 22 ESSRT charts and diagrams, these classroom-ready resources strengthen visual analysis, data interpretation, CER writing, and cross-topic scientific reasoning through hundreds of Regents-style questions.
Each worksheet includes student-friendly chart-reading support, structured practice, and detailed answer keys to help students develop the data fluency and analytical skills essential for success on the modern Regents exam.
Regents Review System
Help students build confidence and mastery before the NYSSLS Earth & Space Science Regents exam with comprehensive unit review packets designed around authentic Regents-style questioning, ESSRT analysis, CER writing, and real-world scientific reasoning. Covering every major unit of the course, these structured review resources combine rigorous background readings, scaffolded practice, and high-level application questions to strengthen both content understanding and test-taking skills.
