Course Specifics
This course prepares students for the rigors of high school biology, chemistry, and physics. Students are guided through the steps of writing a formal scientific lab report using the MLA format, a skill that will benefit them for years to come.
There are many opportunities for hands-on experiments, and several will be demonstrated and discussed during live classes.
Recorded Classes
All classes are video recorded and available for students to watch later so they don’t miss any instruction.
International Students
We welcome international students from across the world. Please note that all classes are taught in the Eastern time zone.
