In case your wondering, I am helping my grandaughter. She doesnt like her sciences so I my son and I are trying to help her. Unfortunatly I never took any of this in school so I kind of depend on everyone answering my questions with some detail, so that I may explain it to her. If any of you could help me with answering my other biology questions I would appreciate it!

Why doesn't she like sciences? Is it boring in school? I'd look into that. Science is becoming more important all the time. There's no reason for her to be opposed to science at this age (I'm assuming she's young).
Encourage her to take notes in class, and check them. Provide positive reinforcement when she has good notes. Ask her something interesting from science class that day.
Also, try to make science more real for her. If she's more interested in it, she'll pay more attention, and you won't have to ask so many questions. Take her to an aquarium, or the zoo. Go on the tours and watch some of the presentations. There are tons of cool facts that should get little minds interested. Take her for a hike in the woods or hills and show her what the world outside is like. That's science. Not memorizing facts in a classroom.
Good luck!
