General reviewer for Science at the high school level.

1

Biology

The cell is the basic unit of life. Know the human organ systems, photosynthesis, respiration, and genetics (dominant vs recessive traits).

2

Chemistry

Matter = element, compound, or mixture. Atoms have protons, neutrons, electrons. Balance equations by changing coefficients.

โš ๏ธ Common Mistake

Balance chemical equations by adjusting COEFFICIENTS, never subscripts.

3

Physics & Earth Science

Earth science covers plate tectonics, weather, and the solar system.

Order: observe โ†’ hypothesize โ†’ experiment โ†’ analyze โ†’ conclude. The independent variable is what YOU change.

๐Ÿ“Œ Quick Recap โ€” Master These

Before your exam, make sure you can confidently explain and apply each of the following:

  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • Physics & Earth Science
  • Scientific Method

Re-read any section above where you hesitate, then explain it aloud in your own words โ€” if you can teach it simply, you understand it. Focus your final review on the tables, formulas, and the common-mistake warnings, since those are where most points are won or lost.
