Introduction to General Science

The online course in discussion offers a comprehensive introduction to various branches of science, making it an ideal starting point for students moving beyond elementary science. The course curriculum is based on the edition of Apologia's General Science" text, covering a broad range of scientific disciplines, including astronomy, meteorology, oceanography, earth study, geology, paleontology, general chemistry, general physics, general biology, marine science, environmental science, and the science of creation. It also includes an introduction to graphing, fun labs, and educational projects, culminating in a final project where students design an experiment based on the course content.

This course is best suited for students seeking a broad overview of science content before proceeding to more specific middle school courses. The course is not specifically labeled as Honors, AP, or NCAA approved, so it is likely a standard-level course. While the course is not explicitly designed to prepare students for high school science, it does provide a foundation for further scientific studies.
