Concentrating on the Unearthing Mars lab.About this EventKEY INFORMATIONDate/Time: Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 9am - 3pmLocation: City College of NY, NAC BuildingWorkshop Leader: Kristina Coker and Liza Blackman (bio(s) below)Appropriate for: NYS Regents Earth Science teachers, and those who support them.6hrs of CTLE credit offeredWORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONThe NYS Regents Earth Science labs were introduced in 2024, and we want to help you learn them! This workshop builds on strategies and structures we have been using with all four of the Regents Science, and explores active learning strategies for deepening your students’ understanding of crucial conceptual models and help you effectively implement a student-centered, NGSS and NYS Regents-aligned approach tailored to physical science education. To do this, you will engage with the state-required experiments and activities designed to help students build a critical understanding of these models.In this workshop, we will run the Space Systems: Unearthing Mars – A Historical Perspective (PE: HS-ESS1-4). You will work in both “student mode” and “teacher mode” so you can experience the lab through both lenses, and add practical tools to your teacher toolbox. We will include structured discussions about the new changes in the New York State Regents curriculum and test, strategies for accommodating district-specific curricular requirements, various student populations, laboratory resources, what changes you can (and cannot!) make to the lab, and more. We welcome all teachers and administrators, both new and experienced, to join us for this engaging workshop!This is part of a series in which we are running each of the 3 labs during the school year:Earlier in the fall, we ran the Sky’s the Limit lab.On Jan 31, we are running the Ripple Effect lab - information here.On March 7, we are running the Unearthing Mars lab (this ticket)WORKSHOP LEADERSKristina Coker is in her 9th year of teaching Earth Science at Midwood High School in Brooklyn.
