Episode 43 - AP Biology: Stop Memorizing, Start Drawing - Susanna Heinze

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe Sebestyen sits down with Susanna Heinze, a 20-year science educator and creator of the Science with Susanna YouTube channel (148K+ subscribers, 10 million+ views), to break down why kids struggle in biology—and why it has nothing to do with how smart they are.Dr. Joe and Susanna discuss what students and families need to understand about learning science, including why memorizing fails on the AP Biology exam, how her "draw-along" method turns scattered facts into one connected story, why passive studying like rereading notes and making flashcards doesn't stick, and the biggest mistake students make when studying biology, anatomy, and physiology.This episode is especially useful for high school students taking AP Biology, pre-nursing and anatomy students, parents whose kids are struggling in science, and educators looking for an active, visual approach to teaching.📲 Connect with them: https://www.sciencewithsusanna.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@susannaheinze/videos📲 Learn more about us: https://supportedtutoring.com/Facebook: Dr. Joe SebestyenInstagram: @dr_joe_ap_exams Thanks for tuning in to the SupportED Learning Podcast with Dr. Joe.
