For some kids, learning science is harder than other topics. Some of the ideas are so abstract for them, and they need to just that extra bit to help them understand. Hands on learners may find the idea of Earth science or how things work a bit harder to grasp until they can see it, or experience things on their own. Thankfully, as technology advances we can give them more tools to help them understand the world around them and possibly with their homework as well.
