YouTube Channels - Science

Have you ever been depressed because you have this science exam(s) tomorrow and you just don't understand literally any of it? I have been there; trying to ace tests by memorizing but not understanding. Albeit being able to score pretty good at science regardless how I study, 'studying' like that didn't feel right at all. Sooo I have found a solution to that! (And you don't need any solute for it.)

The key to your success is everyone's friend: YouTube!

With the help of these wonderful people (and also the most important thing: your effort. We need that, okay?), I guarantee you will pass your darkest and scariest exam moments.


Mathematics - PatrickJMT (Patrick Jones)
Math is really that simple - everything's right in front of you, shrouded by this invisible barrier of numbers. Patrick Jones' casual style will make you think that math is not mysterious.

Also check out his puzzle problems - they're really fun!


Biology - bozemanscience (Paul Andersen)
Though I've never met Mr. Andersen in person, I can tell that he is really passionate about teaching and science. Scoring a 90 at biology seemed impossible for me in high school, but thanks to him, I was able to attain an average score of 90 for biology in my report card! Woohoo!
Other than his complete collection of biology videos, he also has hundreds of videos on physics, chemistry and earth systems science, all available for your pleasure at bozemanscience.com.

Definitely a must subscribe for anyone struggling with science.... but wants to know science better.


Chemistry - Tyler DeWitt
Hundreds of videos on chemistry, he explains a lot of basic stuffs you need to know to survive in your science classes. The definition of moles, isotopes, secrets to remembering gas laws - all those stuff that goes between physics and chemistry classes.
Here's one of them: THE definition of isotopes. (I used to get isotopes, isobars and isotones all mixed up, but not any longer after watching this video).

I'm sure what he said to you will stick to your head because he progresses slowly, making sure that watchers understand the points he wants them to know.


Physics - TwuPhysics (Yau Jong Twu) 
Her videos are long, but they're really the best explanatory physics videos you can possibly find on the net. She has covered almost all physics subjects - with deep understanding of each topic.
D-1 physics exam, I had no idea what light diffraction and slit meant. Thank goodness I stumbled across her video and in less 2 hours I managed to understand everything there is about diffraction and slit problems.

One thing I really like about her is that she is not like those teachers who are 'this is the formula, just use this formula and put everything you know into this formula and this formula will solve all your problems'. She explains every single formula - where it came from, the reasoning behind it, so physics can become more like how it's supposed to be. Oh and she also has sample problems within each topic to make sure you're ready to ace your test!

Exams? Fear no more.
