Parents helping teens

Standardized testing is a bit like playing a video game. You want to gather as much treasure as you can... To that end, parents can encourage teens and teens can self-motivate and study 15 to 20 minutes a day (or more) of science. What to study. Use your state's learning standards as a guide. But, also consider current events. What was that Nobel prize about? Oh, a winner was in our state...better know that one.

Work on math and vocabulary, too. Believe it or not you need English Language Arts and Math skills in science!!!

A good web site...HighSchoolAce.com
includes, for example:
High School Biology

# AP Biology Topics by J. de Nuno
# Biology Corner by S. Muskopf
