I am wondering What I should Go for next on the Tech Tree.

Only Mun is enough for you to accomplish most part of the whole science tree expect the last line, which needs to land on Mimus to earn enough science points.

You should not have unlocked the aerodynamics, since aircraft is of no use if you wanna go to Mun and return. Now you should firstly unlock Electrics for the OX-STAT photovoltaic panels, then Advanced Construction then at the next line, the Specialized Construction for the Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port. Once you get the docking port, you are able to build a space station near Mun, which make it possible for you to land to collect Mun samples and return to earn a lot loads of science points. Remember to make good use of the Mobile Processing Lab you have already owned, which always give you extra science points.

Go to minmus, the DV you spend adjusting your inclination and transferring to its much higher orbit is easily recovered on landing an ascending, in all minmus is the easiest place to farm for science, in fact with a lander with 4km/s of DV and a whole bunch of materials bays and goo canisters you should be able to bounce around the different biomes taking samples and eva reports while running materials bays and goo in each one. Keep all the data apart from reports (which can be transmitted without penalty) and return everything else back to kerbin, you should be able to get more than 1500 science points in a single mission,

^This.

Grab electronics, put an antenna on your craft, make it self-sufficient in terms of energy, take some science experiments to Minmus, maybe 4 of each, and land on different biomes. Do a crew report, EVA report from the surface, and EVA report while jumping. Transmit these 3 for full science. Then go through 1 set of experiments in that biome. Proceed to the next biome and repeat. Bear in mind that launching from the surface of Minmus into an orbit that lands you back onto Kerbin takes a very tiny amount of thrust. For this reason, don't transmit the experiments with <100% transmission recovery.

Return to Kerbin, recover the craft, go crazy with your new-found 4000 or so science points.
