We all know science is important. In High School it is definitely different than grade school. Instead of just one broad subject it is broken down into parts (Chemistry, Biology, Physical Science etc.).
Each of those subjects takes different skills and you’ll want to figure out exactly what your students are having the most trouble doing. Is it memorization, Math or something else? Â Figuring the problem areas out will go a long way in helping them do better in the subject you’re tutoring. Â Below are some links that can help you with that process.
A great link list covering all the high school science subjects.

I really like the section on Interactive. Many times with students if they actually “do” something, they’re much more likely to remember it, than if they just study it.
