Science is defined as the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.
It helps you understand the workings of the world around you and why things behave the way they do.  It answers questions and provides insight into both the life sciences and the natural sciences as you continue your journey through life.
 
 
Welcome to Middle College Science.
