Ciencias físicas de la escuela secundaria: curso interactivo de un año completo

Hi Learners and Parents! 

In this full year physical science course, learners will enter a journey through the natural world. This journey will be feature engaging learning material in the form or text, images, and videos, hands-on projects to reinforce concepts and empower students to take learning into their own hands, and ultimately encourage a love of science and curiosity! 

I believe strongly that science is meant to be taught in the learners hands. Therefore, this physical science class will provide your learner the unique opportunity to engage in science in a way that they both understand and ENJOY! Science is meant to be fun!
