How do I better understand Science?
I have to study and learn about the Solar energy for a course I’m taking but as I read, very little makes sense to me. I run into words like photovoltaic, semiconductor, fossil fuel, greenhouse emissions and I look them up but then, even in their definitions, there are even more scientific words that I don’t know. Then, I look those up and even then, I don’t get the feeling like “Oh, OK, now I get it”. It’s not like I don’t understand English and this isn’t math (which I’m terrible at) so why am I having such a difficult time “getting it”?
How do I picture what I’m reading so I understand what is being conveyed? I’ve always been amazed that some people find subjects like chemistry and physics a piece of cake when it might as well have been a foreign language to me. Makes me feel so dumb.
You’re not dumb. Perhaps ignorant, but not dumb and there is nothing wrong with that. You might be in over your head, where you have not yet ‘received’ or studied the basics of science. It sounds like you don’t have a choice right now though, so what I suggest is using online resources as much as possible, and read things through slowly and carefully. When you see an illustration in the text, try to draw it yourself the best you can. As you put the picture together, you might increase your understanding. Keep your computer, and a dictionary, and some scratch paper close by.
Know that in many endeavours, there will be one thing that will challenge you that others will find easy. Maybe you have found your challenge – but I have no doubt that there will be something else, even w/ this subject, that you will find yourself good at.
I’m a licensed private pilot. Everything came easy to me except for that most important of things: Learning to land. That was a huge challenge for me, when it seemed it came easy to others at the time, yet their challenge was learning the study material or some other aspect.
You’ll do okay, take your time. Science is fun!
