Science

The Science Department at Roslyn High School provides a comprehensive and dynamic curriculum that fosters critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and real-world application. We deliver rigorous instruction in core disciplines—Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics—while offering advanced Honors and AP preparation courses. Through updated laboratories, hands-on experiments, and cutting-edge programs like the Pathway to Engineering, we engage students in exploring STEM concepts deeply. Our department supports diverse learning needs by providing multiple pathways and electives, all aimed at helping students build a strong scientific foundation, develop problem-solving skills, and prepare for college and future careers.

A Message from Science Chair Gary Ramonetti

Students will find the science program at Roslyn High School challenging, engaging, relevant and informative.  It is our goal that students leave our school with mastery in the areas of Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.  We offer several different paths to meet that goal both through our core science courses and the elective program. 

Our Regents level science courses are tied to the New York State Learning Standards and prepare students for the Regents Examinations in June.  Students will complete at least 1200 minutes of hands-on laboratory experiences in preparation for those exams.  

The Honors level science courses go beyond the NYS Learning Standards and prepare students to take AP science classes in the future. 

The PLTW Pathway to Engineering program offers students a rich STEM experience including: working with CAD software, robotics, coding, automation and other engineering concepts.

We also offer a variety of science electives to help students grow beyond their typical science experience.
