The document provides information and tips for the upcoming Earth Science Regents exam, including: - The exam will take place on June 20th and consist of multiple choice, constructed response, and performance test sections. - For the multiple choice sections, students should read the entire question and eliminate unlikely answers before choosing the best response. - Constructed response questions require showing work, such as completing graphs and diagrams in pencil. - The performance test involves stations to identify rock and mineral samples, take angular and density measurements, determine settling times through an experiment, and construct a graph. - Proper preparation is key to success, such as forming study groups and using provided reference materials.

1. EARTH SCIENCE REGENTS EXAM TUESDAY, JUNE 2OTH MORNING SESSION

8. Performance Test - Part D Station 1 - Identification - Using a mineral Identification kit and key, the student will determine the characteristics of two mineral samples and identify each sample by name.

10. Performance Test - Part D Station 3 - Angular Measurement - Using a plastic hemisphere that models the apparent path of the sun, an external protractor, a metric ruler, and masking tape, the student will locate the position of the sun at a given time and measure the distance between that position and a fixed point.

11. Performance Test - Part D Station 4 - Angular Measurement - Using a plastic hemisphere that models the apparent path of the sun, an external protractor, a metric ruler, and masking tape, the student will locate the position of the sun at a given time and measure the distance between that position and a fixed point.

12. Performance Test - Part D Station 4 - Mass-Density - Using a balance, a mineral density chart, and a calculator, the student will find the density, determine the mass, and calculate the volume of a given mineral sample. Equation to KNOW: Volume = Mass / Density
