<p>I cannot stand science classes. I hate science period.</p>
<p>Anyone know of a good website to get decent help that is easy to understand (like written at a sixth grade reading level) for biology?</p>
<p>I HAD a good GPA, but science will probably kill it like it has throughout high school. I would have been in the top 15 in my class had it not been for science–instead i finished a lousy 63.</p>
<p>Um…science is either a hit or miss. You either love it or hate it. You either get it or you don’t. I’m one of those people that hate science too…and science basically ruined my life. Anyways you can try sparknotes, and also try to take 1 science class and 2-3 or the subject that you like and you’re good at.</p>
<p>Also you can try to take the science class pass or fail-if you pass with a D, it doesn’t effect your GPA but you get credit for it. Another option is getting a C in that class and getting three or four As, which would bring you up to a 3.5-3.6 range. Anyway this cycle would end once you fill the bare minimum requirement for sciences, and then once you have your major (which won’t be science since you hate it) don’t take science. </p>
<p>So yeah good luck. Try sparknotes.</p>
<p>I love Biology but I HATE Chemistry and Physics… don’t know why</p>
<p>I am exactly like Rolen. I could never grasp Chemistry or Physics, but I always found Biology one of the most fascinating classes ever.</p>
<p>I suck at all sciences. The only reason it kept my grade afloat was because my bio teacher got her teaching degree at Harvard.</p>
<p>For molecular biology, I absolutely love [url=<a href=“http://www.dnai.org%5DDNAi%5B/url”>http://www.dnai.org]DNAi[/url</a>].</p>
<p>I knoticed that also that teachers from higher end schools are really alot easier than those who are not. Just east graders.</p>
<p>I absolutely hate science classes! Bio, chem, environmental… hated them all. It’s either too difficult to understand, or too boring to pay attention to.</p>
<p>well be glad you live in America, you dont need sciences to succed,</p>
<p>i understood most science classes quite sufficiently, but have no interest whatsoever in those fields.</p>
<p>AP PHysics B first semester sucked though…probably because i didn’t take normal physics first</p>
<p>I dig on ecology and environmental science, I find plants and animals very interesting. I’m not a big fan of chemistry though, as I don’t like math.</p>
<p>doesn’t anyone here like to figure out how things work? doesn’t not understanding something present itself like a good challenge? – i hate not understanding things and not knowing how stuff works and that is why i love science</p>
<p>… i can understand disliking physics because it seems like it has little use in real life, but knowing basic biology and chemistry comes in handy, just like knowing basic math</p>
<p>I hate Physics but like Chemistry and Biology. Physics is too tedious.</p>
<p>I love: Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Calculus. I hate: U.S. History, Government. It all depends on your brain. period.</p>

<p>Ditto. {10 char}</p>
<p>i love chemistry and physics, but hated biology (except for the dissections). i have this obsession with finding out the fundamentals of the universe, which is why im so interested in physics and all its theories. i cant do the math though, so i just read about it.</p>
<p>I loved physics and consequently aced my physics class in junior year. My school didn’t offer AP physics so I was stuck taking the reguar course but since the teacher was great I learned a lot. Chemistry I can’t really place an opinion on because I took the basic course back in sophmore year so I don’t really remember much but I suppose I like certain aspects more than others. Biology I find mostly on the boring side. I like Bio-chem and molecular biology but hate ecology and evolution. Also the constant reading required in my AP Bio class made it less fun</p>
<p>I think the reason many of the people who dislike science feel that way is that it’s cumulative. The stuff you learned earlier in the semester is used for the later material, so if the teacher didn’t explain it well (or you just kinda glossed over it) then you find yourself becoming progressively lost & frustrated. In History or Psych, by contrast, yesterday barely matters. The Revolutionary War has only the slightest (if any) meaning when you’re talking about the Civil War, for example. So you can just jump in anytime and be fine.</p>
<p>For students struggling in science/math classes there IS a great resource out there. There are books of worked problems (eg. “Physics Problem Solver”) that given dozens of examples of each type of problem and show you how to work out the solution step by step.</p>
<p>The strange thing is that I like math. The math part of physics I didn’t mind, and I never really had a problem with equations in chemistry either. However, the conceptual side of science is what I struggle at. And it’s strange since I am a computer guy.</p>
<p>I’ve found it’s not memorization like history/geography, but I happen to like history and geography in the first place. It’s more of application and that seems to be my weakness. Plus I find bio in particular to be sort of impractical–when will I ever need to use a microscope or know the structure of DNA when the most advanced I’ll probably get is teaching fourth graders the periodic table?</p>
<p>I actually liked science up through about sixth/middle of seventh grade. And it’s not the teachers–I had awesome science teachers throughout middle and high school, and my professor now is really good. In fourth grade, science was my favorite. But now I hate it as much as I hate Saddam.</p>
<p>While I do find science to be somewhat cumulative, that’s not really my problem. Math is cumulative as is psych to a degree (at least the way my intro course was set up with the textbook it was), but I do agree about history being discardable after a given length of time.</p>
<p>
You may not ever need to use a microscope, but you will need to understand DNA and aspects of biotechnology; health care in the coming years is going to increasingly rely on the molecular mechanisms and genetic basis of disease, and you’re going to need to understand basic molecular biology to make informed decisions about your health.</p>
