Utterly long units...

Now if you don't want to upload the whole file, I've separated the notes into chunks. Each section is one unit, and unit 2 is the longest. I suggest making analogies with the longer/harder chapters, because it'll make memorizing a whole lot easier. Especially with the meiosis and mitosis and all the cell vocab, you're sure to get a brain spasm. So try to make it relate to real life, or a movie that you like, and it most likely will make it easier to remember (results may vary).

Say you're a huge Star Wars fan. I know I am. Make something up like, mitosis is like when Darth Maul gets chopped into two by Obi-wan Kenobi. Analogies like that made my life easier, so it might make yours too. Or find some other way to make it less boring.

Unit 1: Atoms, Elements, and Compounds

Unit 2; Reproduction

Unit 3: Characteristics of Electricity

Unit 4: Space Exploration

Spread the word to your friends, but DO NOT send them the files. They must download it from this website. And a simple thanks would be grateful.

Notes, notes, and more notes!

Well the time of midterm exams (if you have them) has come, and if not then just tests around the corner. And why not get ready for finals coming up? It sounds lame, but trust me: it's worth it. Studying some 10 minutes everyday will really help you, and the week before finals, when everyone is cramming, you'll know the stuff. Why not do a little bit at a time, rather than wait till the last minute to cram everything? Does't work for everyone, and you get A LOT LESS STRESS!

So if you need some, here are some notes for every chapter in the BC Science 9 textbook. Spread the word, and please when you print, double side your printing (print on both sides of the paper) to save paper, and money. If you don't know how, press Ctrl + P, then when it says Print: All Pages in Range, click the drop down arrow and select Odd Pages Only. Then print, collect your sheets, make the order of the pages so that the last page is on the top, then put the sheets in your printer. Ctrl + P again, then select Even Pages Only. Voila, you have saved half the sheets of paper!

Now study your heart out until your nose bleeds of scientific knowledge.
