I am behind in science....? I'm 14?

-I'm homeschooled and I barely know ANYTHING about science because my mom said it was unnecessary. I want to catch up, is it possible? Please tell me some nice sites to learn science?



Thank you! :)You are not behind. Our state public school standards are so low that one book I purchased for my 2nd grader aligned with state standards up to the 8th grade. I suggest going to the library for science books and documentaries. If you don't have a kindle you can download kindle for pc (free) and there are free open source science textbooks available at Amazon. To name a few, there is CK-12 Life Science, CK-12 Earth Science, CK-12 Chemistry, CK-12 Biology I Honors, ect. There are also CK-12 math textbooks that are free. I suggest using the library, the textbooks, and Khan Academy. Khan Academy is completely free also.



I looked at your recent questions and decided to add a few more sources to my answer.

This Country of Ours (US history textbook) http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?au鈥?/a>



I also like reading Edward Eggleston for U.S. History, http://books.google.com/books?id=sLobAAA鈥?/a>



World History Volume 1 http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?au鈥?/a>



World History Volume 2 http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?au鈥?/a>



World History Volume 3 http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?au鈥?/a>



World History Volume 4 http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?au鈥?/a>



World History Volume 5 http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?au鈥?/a>



This website, http://www.mainlesson.com , not only has these history books, they have many more, and they have biographies. I suggest when you are reading history that you search for a biography of a few of the people you are reading about.



You can also find more autobiographies and biographies if you search google, select books, then select free e-books. You can read Benjamin Franklin's autobiography and Lewis and Clark's notes from their expedition. You can also find more public domain history books, classic literature, and many other fine things to read using the google search.



I suggest studying from United State history books, including library books, biographies, and documentaries. You can probably find a lot more from your library. There is a series of U.S. history books written by Joy Hakim. You could also start with book 1 and read all the way through those as well. Just read a little each day. Then write a narration about what you read in a notebook. This will help you retain what you are reading. Read world history in chronological order a few pages a day it may take more than one year to do it. Read biographies, look for books and documentaries at your library. Use a notebook to write down a narration every day about what you read in your own words. It's ok to take 4 years to study world history, many classical homeschoolers do this. There are many that also study United States history along side world history, that is fine too.



The science books you can read then watch video's at Khan Academy. In your own words narrate what you read or learn everyday into a notebook. Take one science topic at a time, I would start with life science.



It is entirely possible to self educate yourself at your age. If you follow my advice that is exactly what you will be doing. Just do a little each day and it will all add up in the end, you will see for yourself after you do this for awhile.Well, your supposedly in 8th/9th grade. Right now, kids your age learn basic science or biology. You can watch documentaries on TV or online, go on youtube and watch random science videos. I don't know specific websites, but starting at www.discoverychannel.com or www.animalplanet.com would be good.



Science is extremely fun to learn also, if you excuse the tedious studying of facts. Look online and google 'science experiments' and try to do one a day.



Hope this helped!
i'm 14 to so i know some sites for teens like us. Bite-size is good. also try getting some books on science. just search for science on google. ok this probably was a bad answer but hope it helps ;)
Try Khan Academy. It's completely free, and they have excellent video courses for several types of science, as well as math and history.
