NEW YORK, July 15, 1997 -- Studies have shown that math and science remain among the most difficult subjects for students. And while numerous study aids have been developed, it seems that far too many fail to meet students' needs, says Kim Magloire, editor of SciTech Magazine.

SciTech Magazine offers just the type of assistance students so sorely need. The quarterly contains articles dealing with everything from the physics of space travel to the life of the transplant surgeon, revealing in each how science is an integral part of our everyday world. (Quarterly, $15.95 per year; call 212-288-0914)

"SciTech helps kids make the science and math connection," explains Magloire. "When they understand how science and math relate to the world around them, they find it easier to learn and like these subjects."

The response thus far has been very enthusiastic, she notes. "We find that kids are turned on by a more interactive approach to learning. When they're reading about computer software or activities in which they can participate, they're far more likely to be positive about learning the science behind them."

Here are a few of the learning activities from SciTech Magazine that kids can put to immediate use:

• How to Develop Effective Study Skills: In an article on study skills, readers learn about different styles of learning, time management, and prioritizing assignments.
  
  
• How to Research Term Papers: The articles in SciTech provide useful tips on using the Internet to research current issues. For example, a recent article on Comet Hale-Bopp provided links to such resources as NASA's homepage, an incredible source of information on space exploration.
  
  
• How to Choose a Career: A recent report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor reported that eight of the top fifteen jobs by the year 2005 will be in health and technology-related fields. Appropriately, SciTech offers description of careers in these fields.
  
  

Since the first step toward a career is an good education, SciTech also offers advice on choosing a college and financing a higher education. "Every issue of SciTech is basically a college preparatory package," adds Magloire.

SciTech Magazine is offering a free Back-to-School brochure for Kids that gives them tips about learning science and math. For the brochure or to subscribe to SciTech Magazine call 212-288-0914 or write to 1382 Third Avenue, Suite 399, New York, N.Y. 10021.
