My experiences with science are a little fuzzy. I can remember when I was in elementary (unsure of the grade), we went as a class to the high school side and watched them dissect a fetal pig. I also remember the same scenario but it entailed everybody in the school making a human chain by holding hands and they sent an electric shock through approximately 150 people.
When I was younger, I also remember making a solar system out of styrofoam balls; we painted them accordingly and made them into a mobile. I don’t remember the grade that I was in, nor the teacher. I remember when I was in the sixth grade and we were required to do a science fair project. I did my science fair project on which brand or flavor of gum lasted the longest, I actually won first place and had to go to the regional science fair in Escanaba. I must be a person that remembers things or learns things from hands on activities. I also remember my sixth grade teacher had us learn different kinds of leaves …show more content…
The only thing I can remember from that class is goggles and trying to blow a 2 liter bottle up, I’m not even sure what was in it. I also remember taking observations on what we thought was in little paper bags by shaking them. My professor was pretty comical and a little quirky.
I only had two science teachers in high school that were strictly science teachers, they were very strict with procedures but I really enjoyed the classes. After sitting here and really having to pick my brain about this subject makes me realize that science is very interesting and that I really enjoy it. Like I said before, I am a hands on learner and I remember the things that I did by the experiments that required you to be involved instead of being lectured to or read out of the book. I didn’t really remember anything negative about science but I have always blocked negative things out of my
