2 Key Rules To Better Grades: Keep Up And Understand Before You Memorize
Next: The best ways to
study mathematics.)
By The Reading Laboratory

There's no need to consider
physics and chemistry separate
ly because the method of phys
ics is the same as that of chem
istry and their subject matter
Is the same. You might ask
then, what difference is there
between physics and chemis
try? '
. As a matter of fact, there
really Isn't any. Chemical reac
tions can now be understood in
terms of molecular and atomic
reactions. For instance, a com
mon chemical reaction is when
an acid and a base neutralize
each other. We know from mod
ern physics that electrons and
protons are atomic particles
that balance each other, that
complement each other. When
an atom has an equal number
of electrons and protons, it's in
balance, or it's stable. But the
atoms of an acid have an ex
cess of electrons, while a base
has an excess of protons. When
they neutralize each other, all
that really happens is that the
excess electrons In the acid bal
ance with the excess protons In
the base.
So actually the study of chem
istry is just one branch of the
larger science, physics. (It's
still useful to retain the differ
ent names, however, For in
stance, it's useful to you when
you pick your courses. For the
purposes of this article, how
ever, we'll use the word phys
ics to include chemistry.)
When you study physics, real
ize it is a science which ' at
tempts to explain the physical
universe by constructing as few
laws as possible. Ever since the
ancient Greeks, scientists have
been trying to find the one law
that would explain everything
that we observe. It's good to
keep this in mind as you wade
through a physics course. Al
though you may feel buried un
der a mountain of laws, if you
think long enough, you'll see
that they can all be understood
In terms of a lew basic con
cepts of mass, velocity and
force. If you always keep these
three concepts right in front of
you when you study, say, the
laws of motion, you'll have no
trouble understanding why New
ton formulated his laws as he
did.
And if you get into the habit
of trying to find the why behind
each physical lav, you'll have
learned to get the most out of a
physics course. Physics will be
a lot less work, too, because
it'll be interesting. Don't work
up a sweat memorizing the for
mula for Boyle's Law; you'll
just forget it anyway. Spend
your sweat to understand what
Boyle's law means, and you'll
probably be able to figure out
the formula. If you still want
to memorize the formula, it'll
be easy to memorize because
it'll make sense.
Physics is a logical science, a
building process. As a rule, you
need to know everything in
the first chapter before you
can get much out of the second.
So it's really foolish to let your
self fall too far behind your
study schedule. It's not as
easy to catch up as it is in some
other subjects.
To sum up: Don't get con
fused by a pile of laws. Think
about them, understand them
and try to break them down
into a few simple con
cepts like mass, velocity and
force. Don't memorize until you
understand. That's usually fa
tal, i If you can't ' understand
something, ask your teacher for
help.) Keep up with the
course; don't let your studying
fall behind.
