"Ward's Science"

The New York State Regents Examination in Physical Setting/Earth Science (Part D) consists of two components: a laboratory performance test and a written test. The performance test features three different stations of hands-on activities. Using the New York State Education Department guidelines for the 2009 Performance Test (Part D), Ward’s created cost-effective, convenient kits with everything you need to prepare for administering the test at each station. Students can create and examine the elliptical orbit of asteroids with Ward’s Station #3 Kit including a spool of cotton string, six sheets of cardboard, box of 100 push pins, six plastic storage boxes, six metric rulers, and six calculators — enough materials for six station setups. Call 800-962-2660 for a more detailed list of contents.

Lactose intolerance is common, but is actually a recessive genetic trait! Humans and other mammals are only meant to drink milk as infants and as they grow, they lose the ability to digest lactose. As populations began to develop, the domestication of cows and drinking milk into adulthood became more common, leading to a tolerance for lactose. Learn about variation, inheritance, and the role of DNA and proteins in expression of traits in this three-part laboratory activity.
