How do I get better at memorizing biology terms?

I can help you do this, and I think you will find it helpful to do this over a period of days or weeks.  So, let’s start with a plan for what you want to achieve:

Make a list of all the science words that you would like to memorize

Create a short and easy to remember sentence for each word

Write out a number of these short sentences

Use a combination of the last three steps to learn the words

I recommend that you use the site Memrise to help you do this.  Memrise will check that you’ve remembered all of the words before it will allow you to take the next step in learning them.

The first two steps can be done online.  Step three can be done with paper and pencil, or with a note taking app.  I think Memrise is ideal for steps three and four.  I also think that the best way to remember biology terms is to draw out the meanings of the words on paper.

That's good advice. Anything else I should know?

If you need more help with studying these science terms, then I would recommend learning about the “method of loci” for memorizing facts.  You can also practice recalling your words, and make new sentences that are more elaborate.  One good idea is to read a biology book and to use all of your memorized terms to help you understand the book.

What is the method of loci?
user
The method of loci is a technique for memorizing.  You first envision a place where you have a particular kind of object, and you repeat this mental image several times.  Then you remember the first letter of each object, which is the first letter of each word in the word you are memorizing.  Then you move on to a new place and do this with the second letter, and so on.  You also do this in memory, and in a different order each time.

It’s a system that you can use to memorize facts. It’s based on the idea that the mind has a natural way to keep track of information, and that you can use this in a systematic way to improve your recall of facts.

Here’s an example:  You might be learning a new list of words that you would like to memorize, like a list of human body parts.  As you learn each new word, you’ll also make a memory of a specific scene, or “location”.  For each new word, this location will be a different physical place, like a different room in your home.  For each word you learn, you’ll remember a specific location, and you’ll also imagine that you can “travel” to that location.
