Do you think you could score well in science but don't know how to start?
Do you think that science is not for you just because you find difficulty in understanding it?
If your answer is yes, don't worry because YOUR TUTOR BROTHER has brought the only Ultimate Guide you will ever need to achieve your full potential and become a Science scholar.
GUIDE
Before moving to step by step guide, please read this Study technique.
1. BE CONSISTENT
- Learn theory first then numerical
- Read textbooks (NCERT) well
- Watch videos on Youtube and other apps ( (I've sorted out the best Maths Youtube channels for you so that you won't waste time searching for the right one - https://yourtutorbrother.blogspot.com/2020/05/best-youtube-channels-to-study-from-for.html )
For instance- I visualize DNA copying in reproduction with paper xerox
A basic event in reproduction is the creation of a DNA copy. Cells use chemical reactions to build copies of their DNA. This creates two copies of the DNA in a reproducing cell, and they will need to be separated from each other. However, keeping one copy of DNA in the original cell and simply pushing the other one out would not work, because the copy pushed out would not have any organised cellular structure for maintaining life processes. Therefore, DNA copying is accompanied by the creation of an additional cellular apparatus, and then the DNA copies separate, each with its own cellular apparatus. Effectively, a cell divided to give rise to two cells. (Source- Chapter 8: How do Organisms Reproduce? from NCERT Science Class X)
I remembered it by relating to it with paper xerox. Let me tell you, xerox machines use technology to build copies of the paper. This creates two copies of the paper given for xerox and they will need to be separated from each other because the owner does not need one. However, keeping one copy of the paper and pushing the other one out would not work because the copy pushed out would not have any owner to take care of and eventually it will get lost. Therefore, when we xerox paper but does not need two then we will give it to somebody else who needs it. By this way, the copy of the paper separate, each with its own cellular apparatus.
You can see both of the processes are very similar and it helped me not only to visualize it but also relating it to something which I'm more familiar with. Hence, it made the subject easier and fun to me and gradually I love studying it. It also works with Physics and Chemistry, you just need to be creative in thinking. The more you relate it with your normal day to day work, the easier it becomes.
3. Absorb content in small chunks
Do not try to read everything in one go and expect that you'll understand everything.
You'll need to Pause, Visualize and Write over what you read and scribble your thoughts, equations or diagrams on a piece of paper and you'll see how much faster you will understand by going slow.
STEP BY STEP GUIDE-
1. Watch a Youtube video on the chapter which you are about to learn before reading it in the textbook and also pay attention in the class.
(I've sorted out the best Science Youtube channels for you so that you won't waste time searching for the right one - https://yourtutorbrother.blogspot.com/2020/05/best-youtube-channels-to-study-from-for.html )
I always go for NCERT irrespective of the subject expect Maths, and this book was is recommended by All India Rank Toppers of Class X also so you can understand its power. They're also other good reference books like S Chand in the market but I've never read it so I don't know.
2. Do visualizations and go slow where it is needed.
3. In beginning, you might feel that the chapter which you are studying is not going into your head but trust me, after a few revisions and putting your own efforts into it will really help. Always clear your doubts from your teacher or Google but never leave it for tomorrow otherwise it will pile up and you will end up having too many backlogs which will later seem unending to you.
4. Highlight all the important points and read that only next time. It will save you a hell lot of time.
5. In Diagrams, understand what it is first and practice it in the rough paper without looking into the book. And check whether you've drawn right or not and see the mistakes and learn from them.
6. Solve In-Text questions and Exercises at the back because they are mostly asked in the Boards, yes!
7. Questions can be asked anywhere between the chapter so you must be thorough with it.
For example- Hydrogen gas is not evolved when a metal reacts with nitric acid. It is because HNO3 is a strong oxidizing agent. It oxidised the H2 produced to water and itself gets reduced to any of the nitrogen oxides (N2O, NO, NO2). But magnesium (Mg) and manganese (Mn) react with very dilute HNO3 to evolve H2 gas. Source- Page no. 44 Chapter-3 Metals and Non Metals.
This can be asked in the form of "Why Hydrogen gas is not evolved when a metal reacts with nitric acid?" AND This question is asked many times in the school exams, sample papers and last year solved papers, so probably in Board too.
8.
Write down all the equations of Chemistry and formulas of Physics on a paper
with different colors so that it may look appealing to you and stick it to the
wall where you spend most of your time in and GO THROUGH with it every day. It
will get fixed in your head eventually and you'll not have a hard time
memorizing it.
9.
In the end, solve many questions (numerical in Physics) as much as possible and
a week or two before exams solve many Sample papers, Last year's solved papers
to score full marks, yeah literally full marks, in exams considering you've
followed everything in the guide.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's
it. It's not at all hard.
Reading
and understanding concepts in Science repeatedly will make you fall in love
with the subject.
Class
10 Science is awesome and it attracts me to read it every time whenever I see
it.
