Course Description:

This science course aims to develop your abilities as readers, writers, and thinkers. This year, we will be exploring topics in chemistry, astronomy and earth science. We will use a variety of resources throughout the year, including non-fiction books, articles, internet resources, videos, and experiments/ investigations to help further your understanding.
