SUMMARY

A 16-year-old student seeks to regain knowledge in science subjects previously taught by their father, an AP Biology and Chemistry teacher. The discussion emphasizes the importance of active learning through problem-solving and suggests utilizing Khan Academy videos as a resource. Participants clarify forum navigation and the significance of thread movement, while also addressing community norms regarding introductory posts and favorite fish, which serve as a light-hearted initiation ritual.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of AP Biology and Chemistry concepts
  • Familiarity with online learning platforms, specifically Khan Academy
  • Knowledge of forum etiquette and navigation
  • Awareness of mainstream science topics versus non-mainstream discussions
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Khan Academy's AP Biology and AP Chemistry courses
  • Review problem-solving techniques in physics and chemistry
  • Engage in Physics Forums to ask specific science questions
  • Understand forum rules regarding acceptable topics and private messaging
USEFUL FOR

High school students, particularly those looking to refresh their science knowledge, educators seeking resources for teaching, and individuals interested in engaging with a science-focused online community.

It's against our rules, which you agreed to and said you read when you registered.

Where in the rules would telepathy be allowed? Please quote the part that allows it.

Wait, so it actually says "Telepathy can't be brought up"? (or some'n like that.) Wow... To be honest that's pretty low. I had such a good question too. ;_;

Wait, this forum has a PM system right? Or some sort of way to msg people? I think I'll just ask about it privately

What exactly was your question and what was the source (where you read it). These were missing from your post. The title said "telepathy", and that's not mainstream science, so it's not allowed here.

The mentor to PM is Ryan if you want to ask more about the rules, but the rules about non-mainstream topics is very clear. Please do not PM members with subjects that are against the rules, it will get you banned. We only deal with mainstream science here.

If you haven't found your incoming PMs already, click the "Notifications" link at the top right of any page.

If you want to send someone a PM that isn't a reply to one that you received, one way is to click on his/her name at the left of one of his/her posts, then choose "Send a private message to xxxx" from the dropdown menu.
