Description

In a first semester middle school physical science course, students cover foundational concepts in physics and chemistry, including the periodic table, chemical bonding, radioactivity and more! This is the first semester of two semesters.

Self-Paced Option

Self-paced recorded courses can begin at any time throughout the year! A teacher will be available for questions throughout the course and will grade all assignments. A course grade will be available at the end of the course along with a portfolio page.

To enroll in a self paced course, contact us at admin@hypatiastem.com or through our contact form! Each self-paced course will begin the next Sunday. We look forward to learning with you.
