No! Not all at once, just trying to decide which one I should do first.

NASA has a lot of student (& also educator) resources: http://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudent ... index.html

The Exploratorium museum website is also great:
http://www.exploratorium.edu/

For science, we did: biology, chemistry, physics sequence & psychology at the community college.

"Too much"? I don't understand.

For many years I taught (in schools) Biology, Physics and Chemistry to 9-14 year olds, all three subjects, each year. We did a term of each, and then started the cycle again. I.e. just Chemistry in the autumn, just Physics in the post-Christmas term, and Biology in the summer, of course.

By doing it this way, you can cross reference many, many important topics as you meet them again and again in different contexts. So we talked about chemical reactions in the autumn in "Chemistry", and then in the summer, discussing photosynthesis we harked back to "what is a chemical change? Is CO2 and water the same chemical as sugar? But the sugar is made from the CO2 and water." Etc. The cross referencing reinforces what you've studied. The "change" of "subject" is refreshing.
