Mr. Benz's Background & Educational Objectives

Hello. My name is David Benz and I am currently teaching Earth Science 1 & 2 and Introduction to Physics at our Flushing Campus.

Period 10 Lab Schedule: Room 106 (3:05-4:05 PM)

New York State Law - Regents Level Science Classes

- You must have a minimum of 600 minutes in lab per term.

-1200 minutes (2 semesters) of lab time, with successful completion of the assigned labs is a pre-requisite for all Regents Science exams.

I have been using my own website (www.TeachPhysics.com) for some time now. I post useful information and announcements on the site . Click the "TeachPhysics" link below to go to the website.

DO NOT BE ABSENT ON TEST DAYS! - THIS IS THE SUREST WAY TO FAIL THIS COURSE.

Make-up tests, available only with a valid excused absence, are worth up to 50% of the original test's value. (The average of the original 0 and your test score when you take the make-up is your score)
