Welcome to Science Reference!
Science Reference is a free, easy-to-access web platform aimed at teaching scientific concepts in an intuitive, easily understandable manner.
While we enjoy sites like Wikipedia and open online textbooks, the conceptual explanations and ideas get often very complicated on those sites, as they should be. Those sites act as encyclopedias and textbooks, while this site is meant to act as a more intuitive scientific reference. Our goal is to make looking up scientific concepts easy and digestible, but also deep and advanced. This is why most of our pages are very long in detail and read more like stories almost, rather than pure web pages.
In addition to the aforementioned paragraph, we employ a tree system, which allows searching up concepts even easier. If you place your mouse above any individual subjects, sections, or topics above, you can see more sub-pages relating to the concept of interest.
