To sign "science," form both hands into 'A' handshapes, keeping your thumbs sticking out as if you are holding two test tubes. Hold your hands in front of your chest with your palms facing forward and slightly downward. Move your hands in alternating circular motions, bringing them downward and inward. The movement should look exactly like a scientist carefully pouring chemicals from one test tube into another.
Sign "tomorrow," point to yourself for "I," then sign "have," "science," and "test." The alternating pouring motion of "science" clearly establishes the subject before you sign "test."
Sign "my," "favorite," "science," and then "class" or "subject." Pair the sign for "science" with a bright, enthusiastic facial expression to show your passion for the topic!
Point to the person for "she," sign "work," then "science," and finally fingerspell L-A-B. The iconic test-tube motion of "science" perfectly sets the visual scene for a laboratory setting.

No, your hands should move in an alternating pattern. As one hand circles downward and inward, the other should be coming up and outward, similar to the alternating motion of pedaling a bicycle with your hands.
This specific sign is the general term for "science." However, ASL often uses an initialized version of this exact same movement for specific branches—for example, using 'B' handshapes for biology or 'C' handshapes for chemistry.
Yes! Your palms should face forward and slightly downward, away from your body. This orientation naturally allows your thumbs to point upward and inward, properly mimicking the action of holding and pouring from test tubes.
