What is Science continued
• Science is a process– You must think HOW, WHY, By WHAT
means or reactions.– Science examines the physical world
using our five senses. – It is quantitative and qualitative

Why is Science Different?
• Science is much more intense. • You will be expected to read, write,
learn similarities and differences, and mathematical formulas.
• Incorporation of labs-time intensive
E=mc2

Why Students Think Science is Hard
• “There is too much information”• “Science is multi-disciplined”• “I can’t do the Math”• “This isn’t something I know
anything about”• “I don’t have enough time to
learn it all”• “It’s too complex! How do I
keep it straight?”

Ways to study science effectively
• Notecards– Terms– You are learning a
LANGUAGE

Ways to study science effectively
• Utilize time management skills– Plan out your study time– Take advantage of your
breaks– Have a study plan

Ways to study science effectively
• Backwards Planning– Studying for an exam starts the first
day of class– Start with your test date and work
backwards– Plan time to REVIEW your MATERIAL

Ways to study science effectively
• Compare and Contrast– What is the SAME and what is
DIFFERENT– ID the concepts, terms, formulas that
you often confuse

Ways to study science effectively
• What do you already know and how does this fit with that?– RELATING to the MATERIAL is the
MOST IMPORTANT part of STUDYING– Example: My chemistry tutor
• Fluorine is popular and accepting
