In order to be successful, you should:

 Commit! This is extra work for you if you're a high school student, so commit to getting the
most out of it you possibly can! 
 Watch all of the content videos and answer the Check Your Understanding Questions that
follow them.
 Complete your Homework assignments and quizzes each week.
 Do the free-response questions and pay attention to how you earn points for your responses.
 Do the lab activities. These are self-directed so you need to be motivated and dedicated to
getting them finished! Share your results. We are all curious about what you found!
 Share and Collaborate! Use the discussion boards. You know so much already and you have
great ideas! Share them with others and see if you can come up with even more fantastic
ideas! That's part of the fun of science!
