Homework Help When You Don't Remember the Subject Yourself

Your kid asks for help with science homework, and you haven't thought about the lungs since you were thirteen. Here's how to help anyway.

You don't need to remember the material. You need good questions about it, with the answers explained. Then you're learning it right next to them.

Snap the pages they are working on. Here, a chapter on breathing from an old physiology book.

In the info menu, set their age. Thirteen for this one, so the questions match where they are.

Add the photos,

and generate the quiz.

Now sit down together. Read the question out loud, and let them answer first.

Every answer comes with a short explanation. That's the part that helps you. You don't have to know it, it's right there on the card.

When they miss one, you both see the right answer and why. That's a good moment to stop and talk it through.

One more trick. Ask them to explain an answer back to you in their own words. If they can, they've got it.
