Parce que is a subordinating conjunction and can begin a sentence. Parce que introduces a cause, explanation, or motive - it explains why something is done.
Je ne suis pas venu parce que mon fils est malade.
I didn't come because my son is sick.
Puisque is a subordinating conjunction and can begin a sentence. Puisque gives an obvious explanation or justification, rather than a cause.
Tu peux partir puisque tu es malade.
You can leave, since you're sick.
