Science can be a hard class. Here are some tips to help you with your studies.
- Focus in - science includes everything about the universe! Pick one area, like living things, rocks and minerals, stars and planets -- then study that one thing until you understand it. You can move on to other sciences also!
- If you have a class with a lot of different kinds of science, you'll just need to take really good notes and do all the homework - see the Related Questions for more help with notes and homework.
- Do the practice work - science is studying the universe, so to really understand it, you're going to have to study -- look at the world around you, watch and listen to what's going on, wonder about things and ask questions, do experiments to see what happens, and look up facts about things.
- Get a tutor if you're having trouble! Science and Math have a lot of things you just have to practice until you get right, and a tutor can really help you get things down pat!
Science should be studied like anything else to start with - memorize the terms and definitions, take good notes, and learn how things work. One part of science that is more similar to math is to be sure you work out the problems and do the experiments so that you will really understand what is going on. Science is based on facts learned from experiment - what we understand depends on what we can study, and science is always changing as our ability to study the world increases. Look at your notes and write them down so you know them in your head.
There is no easy way to learn science, but you can gain a great understanding of science and learn a lot about history and application of science if you read a wonderful book "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson. It is written for someone who is not a scientist (Bryson writes travel books) for people who find science tedious or hard to comprehend. As a result, it is a light read with lots of humor and entertaining tidbits about science and scientists. There is an Audiobook edition (my favorite) and an illustrated edition, which is a lot of fun.
it depends how you view science. me i see it as a puzzle so i just need to assemble everything and my work is done. the best thing to do is to try and relate almost every thing to your daily activities. try to relate it to things which interest you. if you want learn definitions in tunes of music. learn patters in a sentence which you will never forget.
The Best Way to Study:· Set a specific time each day to work on your homework and studying. Treat it like a job, and just go do it.
· Keep good notes -- see the Related Questions if you need help with that. Your notes are the best thing to study.
· Read over the textbook -- just look at the bold headings and see if you can explain to yourself what information each one explains.
· Turn each heading in your notes (or textbook) into a question and see if you can answer it.
· Make a Study Deck -- see the Related Question to see how!
