A coordinating conjunction links two independant clauses, but a subordinating conujunction links a independant clause and a dependant clause.

Coordinating; Main clause+ cc + main clause

Subordinating; Main clause+ sc+ dependant clause (or reverse)

For example;

1. (CC) I usualy go rock-climbing with my friends on weekends, but (coordinating conj) this saturday I will stay home and work.

2. (SC) Rather then (subordinating conj) going rock-climbing this weekend, I will stay home and work.
