How to become a science writer 
Take all the science and english classes you can while in high school. 
High school science classes include classes in biology, chemistry, and physics. Here, you can develop a basic understanding of science topics and also identify which of the sciences interests you most.
English classes will help you develop and sharpen your writing skills, particularly if a journalism class is available coupled with the opportunity to work on your high school newspaper. Read as many science-related publications as you can.
