Breaking Down Problems

Step-by-Step Problem Solving

When faced with a tough science question, break it into smaller parts. Start by identifying what you know and what you need to find out. Use lists or charts to organize information, and solve each part one at a time.

This approach helps you feel less overwhelmed and builds confidence in solving science problems!

Examples

  • Making a table to organize types of energy in a real-world example.

  • Listing forces acting on a moving skateboard before solving a question.
