Welcome back to Teaching High School Science! Today, I’m sharing study strategies to help your teen tackle biology, chemistry, and physics with confidence! Whether you're homeschooling or looking to support your child in science outside of class, these tips will make a real difference. Get ready for actionable techniques and resources you can use right at home to help your teen master those tricky concepts.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

🔹 Biology:

  • Master memorization with flashcards (think cell organelles and processes!).

  • Visualize those complex concepts by drawing diagrams—photosynthesis, anyone?

  • Boost understanding by having your teen teach or explain what they’ve learned.

🔹 Chemistry:

  • Make math easy with daily practice of equations and whiteboard sessions to balance chemical equations.

  • Visualize molecular structures with molecular models—3D kits or online simulations.

  • Create a formula list with detailed examples to make solving chemistry problems feel like a breeze.

🔹 Physics:

  • Build a strong foundation with daily problem-solving, focusing on connecting concepts to math.

  • Use visual aids and diagrams to break down forces, circuits, and other abstract concepts. Free-body diagrams and circuit drawings are a must!

 Pro Tip: Invest in dry-erase boards. They’re perfect for all three sciences and make practicing equations and diagrams a whole lot less stressful!
