      I am a little biased but I would say no it isn’t harder than any other subject – you just need to think like a scientist and be dedicated to it.

      Hi Josh, all subjects are extremely difficult and take a lot of hard work and studying. As long as you are dedicated and apply yourself then you will be fine.

      No, science is not harder than other subjects. If you have an interest in a subject then it is alot easier!

      I think every subject is challenging in it’s own way- it depends on the student, the teacher and the content of the subject. Sometimes in science it feels like you just have to learn a bunch of facts, or you are being asked to think about a complex subject before you have understood the basics. This can be true for other subjects as well though!

      In all subjects, I think teachers should try to make learning enjoyable- that’s when you remember and when you want to be involved. Students should always try to apply themselves and work hard to understand their studies- it feels really good when you figure out that difficult question, or find the best way for you to learn something!

      Hi Josh – I don’t think science is harder than any other subject. It comes down to whether you anjoy it and have an interest in learning more. Science isn’t for everyone.
