I’m assuming this science class must be physics (problem sets?).
In my son’s physics class, they would get hw assignments online; I think it was through the University of Texas but don’t quote me. Anyway, the students were expected to work the probs and then submit answers online, where they would be told right or wrong. They could rework and resubmit answers repeatedly. If a right answer, the student would get the solution as well (so he could compare how he worked the problem). If after repeated tries, the student still couldn’t figure it out, he could ask for the solution online. The teacher had some way of seeing the “record” of attempts, etc. so he based his homework grade somehow on that. If the student was really confused, the teacher would reteach or do remedial work during class or before/after school.

The homework grade was based somehow on success rate and/or number of attempts.
