- If you pass the state-administered GED test, the state will issue you a GED diploma
 Course Description This online course will prepare you to take the Science portion of the GED (General Educational Development) test. The testing format will be explained and broken down to highlight the content this part of the exam will cover. This course will provide many resources from strategies, practice tests, practical assignments and researched netlinks attached to many test topics to be read at your own leisure. This course will analyze how to science related material and provide a comprehensive review of major topics covered in Biology, Earth and Space Sciences, Chemistry and Physics. Course Lessons |  | Lesson 1: The Science Test: Reading InformationThis lesson will go over information and formatting details of the Science Test for the GED. | Lesson 2: The Science Test: BiologyThis lesson will list several vocabulary terms used in the study of Biology. | Lesson 3: Life Science: Biology Part 1This lesson will discuss topics including: the cell, structure of the Eukaryotic Animal Cell, Structure Of The Eukaryotic Plant Cell, Functions Of A Typical Cell, Diffusions, active transport, protein synthesis of cells, types of reproduction, genetics an | Lesson 4: Life Science: Biology Part 2Several hundred years ago, as science began to advance, scholars needed a well-organized system to talk about the vast number of organisms on the planet. | Lesson 5: The Science Test: Earth and Space StructureThis lesson will begin the study of this part of the Science Test for the GED exam. | Lesson 6: Earth and Space Science Part 1Our sun is one of billions of stars in the known universe. It is a yellow star, and it is a pretty good example of most of the known stars, with a few minor exceptions. | Lesson 7: Earth and Space Science Part 2Paleontologists work to reconstruct the Earths ancient history by studying fossils, the traces of past life. | Lesson 8: The Science Test: ChemistryThis lesson will highlight and review some of the content knowledge of chemistry that will be part of the GED test. | Lesson 9: Chemistry, Part 1Just as the cell is the basic building block of life, the atom is the basic unit of matter. There are just over 100 types of atoms in the known universe, and these tiny particles combine to make all matter. | Lesson 10: Chemistry, Part 2When elements combine in a chemical reaction, a new compound is formed that has properties different from the original components. | Lesson 11: The Science Test: Physical ScienceThis lesson will highlight and review some of the content knowledge of physics that will be part of the GED test. | Lesson 12: Physics, Part 1Physics is at work in your life every dayits what keeps you from floating out into space and what keeps your car moving forward as you roll downhill. | Lesson 13: Physics, Part 2Heat is a type of energy that results from the movement of atoms in molecules in a substance. Heat is measured in joules, Btu or Calories, and it refers directly to the amount of energy. | Lesson 14: Physics, Part 3 Electricity is a secondary source of energy that has to be converted from another primary source, like coal, water or solar energy. |

GED Preparation for the Science Exam will focus on the skills and the updates implemented on the GED exam. The science section of the GED will focus on broad concepts and principles, rather than on your ability to recall exact details and isolated facts. In order to succeed on the GED exam overall you have to be able to read, compute, interpret information, and express yourself in writing on a level comparable to that of 60 percent of graduating high school seniors.
This course will cover basic skills needed in successfully completing the Science section of the GED exam. This will cover: - how to read and successfully answer science related question, - the basics of interpreting science related diagrams and tables - guides and links of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Space and Earth Sciences.
