Seriously, for the past month, I've been revising for all the Sciences for the exam tomorrow. (1st July)
I'm still not even finished, because I'm finding Physics SO difficult.
The highest I got in Biology is an A, and the highest in Chemistry is a B. But Physics... I'm guessing I'd get something as low as an E.
I'd like to see your opinions on which is the most difficult out of Science and why.
 
Maths counts as a science? o.o

Err, I was equally bad at all sciences. The only things I understood were (a) photosynthesis and (b) that the abbreviation for carbon monoxide = the initials of the guy I had a crush on in high school.
 
I really enjoy biology and chemistry (mostly the latter), but I'm pretty bad at physics and maths. Maybe my brain just isn't all that good at dealing with numbers and such, haha.
 
Almost any science besides biology and aspects of chemistry. I've never been good at math, and horribly failed at physics so.. yeah. But I do enjoy learning about the sciences.
 
Science and Math shouldn't mix. Also I suck at biology. As intriguing it is, I'm not very good at memorizing names and all that jazz.

My least favorite science is definitely physics. I was always more of the biology/anatomy/physiology type.

Math is science?


I chose chemistry and physics as I hate both of them. I like biology but I only like learning about animals. Once I learn about humans and plants ick
 
I hate physics.......
I mean, the topic itself seems interesting but it's just so difficult :c You'd be lucky if you had a really good teacher that taught it. Mine wasn't that good.
My school went backwards and so now I have to take Chemistry my senior year. I heard it's really hard....

I don't think your average high school student, or college student (depending on their major) would take those branches of science, therefore the poll consists of the four main sciences taken during a students' years of high school.

Biology.

I'm very good at math, so naturally the other 3 are really easy to understand for me.
 
All of them. I don't know all these formulas and ****. Maybe I should go to school more.... nahhh
 
Well, it really depends on what level you are at with each Science.
I used to find Biology hardest, purely due to the vast content we had to purely memorise off by heart. However, recently I've gotten more than capable of doing that and now find it rather easy. Chemistry, on the other hand, starts off straight forward, but has started to (for me) and undoubtedly becomes the hardest of the 3 traditional sciences (Bio, Chem, Phys).

Physics and Maths are slightly different. They are very much down to each individual student. I grasp Maths quite quickly and naturally, so I find it (and Physics) relatively straight forward, at least at the level I'm currently at. However, I know of more than one example of someone who is very intelligent, but simply can't 'get' Maths.

So, to summarise:
Chemistry becomes a *****. It is, without doubt, the hardest Science.
 
For me, I found that studying all of them up to GCSE level here in England (so, quite heavily up until the age of sixteen) I had no issue with biology whatsoever (in fact, I regularly got As on that if I tried at all), little issue with physics (as this permitted using a calculator very simply and having equations I could break down far more easily due to them concerning particular items or movements) and an incredibly difficult time with Chemistry (which was laden with numbers and equations I couldn't keep track of the logic and calculation of as they felt so far thrown from the actual chemicals we were working with). This may have been because I admittedly had little interest in anything of the sciences outside of a little biology and thus didn't really try with anything that took too much effort, but I have a feeling that being dyscalculic also contributed: with chemistry, we were dealing with a lot of equations and a lot of measurements, and that stuff just never flew with me in the time and circumstances we had to do it in. My brain struggled to keep track and would get overwhelmed and give up just the same way it would in maths lessons. Maths, however, at least had some logic I took to in that I was very, very good and had correct inituition with percentages, algebra and trigonometry even if I was hopeless with everything else. Physics, biology and maths (in some areas) all offered some situation or item or cell I was equating my calculations within, so I always had a framework to ground me and stop me losing track of the numbers - while chemistry got too much as soon as it became equation-based and I had no item or concept I could remember and feel personally familiar with to use as a basis for the calculations.

I'm definitely a humanities/arts girl!
