Learn the essentials of physics, chemistry, biology and earth science in four-choice questions.

Science Basics

A little science changes how the world around you looks. Why not run back over the basics of physics, chemistry, biology and earth science with some four-choice questions?

Take the basics quiz

What does it cover?

It covers the essentials broadly: physics such as forces and electricity, chemistry and the properties of matter, biology and how living things work, and earth science covering weather and strata. It serves as revision for school-age students and as a way back into the subject for adults. Even if you have always thought of science as not your thing, it is approachable.

What you will learn here

You will pick up how nature works and the basics of scientific thinking. That gives you the grounding to follow science stories in the news and everyday topics such as weather, health and the environment — and it builds your ability to reason things through.

How to approach it

Start wherever your interest lies among physics, chemistry, biology and earth science. Watch your accuracy rate and concentrate your revision on the weaker areas, and the knowledge sticks more readily. Checking what each term means as you go works well.
