I took them all at some point: geology, weather science, biology, chemistry, physics. Which ones did you find more challenging? Did the professor make a difference? Who watched any online videos for help?
 
I have a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation which provided a multidisciplinary foundation in wildlife ecology and conservation biology, along with a solid framework in the sciences (biology and chemistry). Other coursework focused on critical issues in the conservation of wildlife, biological resources, and the management and restoration of wildlife.
 
Did things at high school but that's about it LOL have done nothing regards to that
 
My favorite course was Zoology. The course was fun to take. You’ll learn about animal diversity, how they evolved over time, and how they adapted to living in their environments.

You’ll also learn about genetics and DNA, and how evolution is affected by minute changes in a species’ DNA.
 
In high school I took Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Physics was my ultimate favorite even though I didn't understand it at the time. My teacher even told us on the first day we wouldn't really get it but then one day when we're out of high school it would just hit us and it did! I was on the train going to Chicago and it hit me...momentum! Wow. I went back on a visiting day to that teacher and told him what happened and he was so proud. I still some favorite physics formulas memorized!
 
I actually did the best in chemistry out of all of them. That may be because I put the most effort into it, though. I am not a strong science student. ^^
 
No matter which science it pertains to, I have always been curious and want to know the answers to “Why”. Merely knowing that something works isn’t enough for me: I want to know Why it works the way it does.
I was heavily involved with a science based curriculum in high school and had dreams of being a biophysicist but life happens and sometimes dreams go no further than being just dreams.

All that said, I occasionally go to some free on-line lectures in quantum mechanics, biology and chemistry and as a natural bodybuilder, I’m always doing more research in the realm of biochemistry and the mechanics of muscle growth.
 
I majored in and graduated as a physical therapist. So, I loved to learn science subjects related to this profession.
 
I was forced to take physics, chemistry, biology at high school and early college. But my personal favourite was biology because I could relate with it.
