普通科學：中學全年化學、生物學、地球與物理科學

This full year course will explore the four major areas of middle school science:  chemistry, physical science, earth science, and biology.  Classes will have hands-on activity, laboratory, or active discussions.  Learners will be able to participate in a live lessons, share ideas, and ask questions.  Learners will be able to complete up to eight hands-on laboratory activities.  Additionally the course will have useful and demonstrative videos, helpful practice problems, and live labs!
