The New York State Regents curricula in Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics may be taken in grades nine through twelve. Students in the Regents level are also given the opportunity to take one of the advance placement courses before graduation. General levels of Earth Science, Biology, and Chemistry are available for those students not seeking a Regents diploma and in need of a less rigorous course of study in science. We are proud that our students' scores on state mandated Competency and Regents examinations have been consistently on or above state and county levels. All science classrooms at the middle school have been equipped with multimedia capabilities including VCR and laser disc players.
Similar technology is available in the high school on portable carts.
Video microscopes enhance demonstrations in the life science classrooms and both buildings have modern, computer-inventoried chemical storage facilities which allow for the safe storage, mixture and distribution of chemicals used in the science classrooms. The William Floyd School District is associated with Brookhaven National Laboratory and Dowling College's National Aviation and Transportation Center. These facilities offer our students and teachers the opportunity to investigate science beyond the classroom and participate in local science and engineering competitions. A team of two eighth grade teachers developed a curriculum which ties together topics in math and science. The teacher, one in each discipline, have been working with a single class of students using a modified team teaching approach to blur the artificial boundaries created between the two curriculum areas.
