Mrs.Gates Science Classes

Welcome to the Living Environment!

The living environment is the study of life and a branch of the natural sciences which studies living organisms and how they interact with each other and their environment.  This includes several different disciplines, including botany, zoology, microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, cellular biology, physiology, and ecology.

Laboratory Requirements: Critical to understanding science concepts is the use of scientific inquiry to develop explanations of natural phenomena. Therefore, as a prerequisite for admission to the Regents examination in the Living Environment, students must have successfully completed 1200 minutes of laboratory experience with satisfactory written reports for each laboratory investigation.
