is it weird that biology is easier to me than chemical-based science?

[hillkill]

there's this freshman class i have not passed yet called "general physical science". it's basically balancing chemical equations and many other chemical-based stuff. i've failed it 2 times and i'm a junior. my counselor decided to put me into biology because i'm behind in science (need 3 science credits to graduate). in biology, we do stuff with dna & rna, genetics, and meiosis/mitosis; and yet it's easy for me. i find that kind of weird, does anyone else feel this way?

no it should be

[hillkill]

no it should be

then you'd think biology would be a freshman class.

the way i see it, physics is math and biology is memorization, and chemistry lies somewhere between the two.

so if you're better at memorizing stuff, probably better at biology.

[Maxwell.]

I'm the same way

I sucked at chemistry and found it hard with the bonds and equations and stuff but physics is the complete opposite

never took biology but I'd probably be good at it, I'm a botanist kind of

[shitlord]

i took biology before chem for that reason

quite the contrary, lol.

I found Biology easier than Chemistry, and both easier than Physics (my maths isn't so good, which also let me down in Chem).

But it is? At least where I live anways. I took physical science in the 8th grade.

[hillkill]

physical science is 9th grade, biology is supposed to be 10th, and then you get to pick from a list of science classes for your 3rd.

quite the contrary, lol.

i took em both, and i never touched a calculator in bio class

Only time I did was for a little bit on statistics in our coursework.

I passed biology with a near 100%, I had at least 90% in physics, and i think i failed chemistry. In all honesty i think it comes down to which one someone prefers more and how good the teacher is at teaching that subject (And having a teacher that speaks fluent english without thick accent helps). In biology i had an amazing teacher which in turn made it easier to learn. In both school where i was taught chemistry they were both foreign ( one was spanish, the other was indian) and i had a hard time learning, plus the spanish one wasn't exactly great at time management

Physics was just easy for me because i was good at math and the teacher was alright if you weren't an starfish, but he was one of the teachers that graded notes, thus not having 100%

then you'd think biology would be a freshman class.

It IS a freshmen class. Chemistry is more of a sophomore class while physics is usually junior/senior year. Biology has barely any prerequisite classes, whilst chemistry and physics both need a math class beforehand in order for it to be easily understandable.

Biology was really really easy. Chemistry is harder for me

[Waru]

bio sucks but it's probably my teacher. physics was a drag but was easy. i loved chemistry.
