The document outlines a six-step process for solving science word problems algebraically: 1) List the known values and variables; 2) Identify the unknown value; 3) Select the appropriate formula; 4) Rewrite the formula if needed to solve for the unknown; 5) Plug the known values into the formula; 6) Solve the formula and include units in the answer. An example of finding the area of a 2m by 1.5m surface is provided to demonstrate the process.
