    LAB REQUIREMENT   In order to earn Regents credit for this course you must have 30 lab credits on file. A lab credit stands for one 40-minute lab period. Some labs may be worth more than one credit if they take more than one class period. This lab work must be documented in your Teams Class Notebook in order to be eligible for the Regents Exam in June. Only lab reports submitted to Teams of reasonable quality (65% or better) will count toward the 30 lab credit requirement.
