Earth Science Part D
Earth Science Part D- Lab FinalThis part of your regent’s exam is hands on and based from the information gathered inlaboratories that we have completed in class. This section is worth 16 points and can help orhurt depending on how you do. Typically an 11 or better is doing good, while below thatnumber it begins to help your overall score less and less. So this part is very important.1.) Three stations:a. Rocks and mineralsb. Earthquake Locationc. Ellipses2.) At these stations you will be asked to follow a set of directions given.a. Be sure to read ALL directions and charts given.3.) Check your UNITS!!!!4.) You have 9 minutes per station that’s all so work fast if you finish look back at your work.a. Check to be sure it can be readb. Check to be sure it answers the questions5.) ANY copying, damaging or altering the setups will result in a zero for your grade.6.) You will need only a pencil/pen to complete this part of your final. No reference tables orcalculators all other instruments will be supplied.Information to know:Rocks and minerals1.)2.)3.)4.)What is a mineral? How do they form?How to ID a mineral.
