My favorite science class was definitely Physics! Such a hard, but fun, class. This book would be awesome for my 10 year old non-fiction fan and science geek. :)
ReplyDeletePhysics was always fun. Those were some of the best experiments in my opinion. :)

ReplyDeleteMy favorite science class was Zoology. All the experiments with slicing and renerating flatworms, milking Sea Urchins, etc were fascinating to me.
ReplyDeleteI hated anything that involved dissecting. That's how I chose my lab partner - she loved it so I took notes!
DeleteI always loved making Borax crystals on pipe cleaners! I also loved the volcanoes with baking soda and vinegar.
ReplyDeleteI never did the volcanoes as a kid. My kids are going to do it later this month though!
DeleteI loved Biology as a kid, especially the microscope part.
ReplyDeleteI liked anytime they let us use "real" equipment. :)
DeleteI always liked zoology...huge animal fan. :)
ReplyDelete:) Another animal lover!
DeleteMy favorite science class was Earth Science!

I always thought plate tectonics was awesome.
DeleteMy favorite science experiment is the volcano. My favorite class was Biology.
ReplyDeleteI admit I was not much of a Biology fan. I'm glad other people like it!
DeleteMy favorite science experiment in school was with kites. We created all sorts of different size, shape, weight kites and had a contest to see which one flew the best, highest, longest, shortest, etc........
ReplyDeletePhysics fun! :)
DeleteMy teacher once soaked a $100 bill in alcohol and set it on fire, but to our surprise it didn't burn! Only the alcohol burnt off!
ReplyDelete-Sierra
My first thought was what a great way to help kids remember the experiment. My second thought was how did a teacher have a spare $100 bill? I think I would have demonstrated it with a $5... haha :)
DeleteMy chemistry teacher stuck a helium hose into bubble solution and blew a tower of floating bubbles, then turned off the helium and lit it on fire. Everybody loved that.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I've never seen that experiment, but would love to try it. :)
DeleteI really liked the honors class I was in in 8th grade. I remember writing (and then performing) a song about the rainforest with some friends haha
ReplyDeleteOooo... I like the use of multiple intelligences!
DeleteBest class was physics in 8th grade with Mrs. Tillman!!! The best project was the huge trebuchets we built!
ReplyDeleteI think in 8th grade we made paper airplanes. You had an awesome teacher!
DeleteI loved Molecular Biology & learning about DNA! Aced everything!
ReplyDeleteI took a class for fun last year on Genetics and DNA. Such an interesting topic. :)
DeleteI loved dissections in anatomy and biology in college!
ReplyDeleteEwwww! I'm glad other people like it since I don't.
DeleteMy daughter would love this!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a great book. :)
DeleteI liked botany and astronomy! This book looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteI never really got into astronomy, until my son became interested in it. It's amazing how much our kids teach us. :)
DeleteExperimenting with magnets was really cool!
ReplyDeleteAnother favorite of mine. :)
DeleteAlmost all science! I love, love, love science and teaching it to little ones. I think my favorite subjects to teach are about the brain and our bodies or really, whatever the kid is most interested in!
ReplyDeleteI have so many cool body things - games, diagrams, books, etc. I almost bought a model of the brain, but resisted because of the price.
DeleteMy favorite science class is Microbiology.
ReplyDeleteI love the variety of everyone's answers!
DeleteI almost decided to go to Vet school, so biology and anatomy were my favorite classes!
ReplyDeletesarah.zaengle at yahoo dot com
I'm sure you would have made a great Vet!
DeleteI always liked the experiences where you mixed chemicals to see the reaction.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one. :) I just signed my kids up for a Chemistry class to surprise them.
Deletegosh, that was so long ago I can't even remember. But I did then and still do like science.
ReplyDeleteHah, I used to say I couldn't remember something because "I've slept since then." Now that I have kids it's more like I can't remember things because I haven't slept since then. :)
DeleteI loved physics senior year!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
DeleteMy favorite science class was biology.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI was a biology major at one time so that would be my favorite
ReplyDeleteDid you switch to another Science or something unrelated?
DeleteI love high school Biology I and II.

It's great that your high school didn't stop after Bio 1.
DeleteI liked Health Science when in nursing school and learning how our organs work and what can go wrong with them and how to treat problems was fun, and interesting
ReplyDeleteMy kids did a health detective camp last Summer. Now I know more about the body than ever before!
DeleteI always enjoyed biology and astronomy.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI loved working with mentos and diet coke. Thank you

A fun, though sticky experiment!
DeleteMy kids love chemistry experiments- but my son really got into the physics experiments where they had to safely launch eggs for the greatest distance
ReplyDeleteThe element of competition really makes some lessons stick.
DeleteI loved earth science, especially fossils.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever go looking for your own?
DeleteI liked chemistry
ReplyDeleteDid you ever memorize the periodic table?
DeleteGrowing crystals in elementary school :)
ReplyDeleteThat was my favorite experiment in elementary school also. Granted, we didn't do very many experiments in elementary. haha
DeleteMy favorite science class was chemistry, even though I was horrible at it. I loved learning about how the elements combined and I loved to do experiments in chem lab.
ReplyDeleteLoving learning is more important than the grade you get any day. :)
DeleteI loved anatomy class in high school.
ReplyDeleteAwesome
DeleteWe didn't do many experiments. I liked my biology class.
ReplyDeleteI feel left out of most of these experiments also.
DeleteI think Biology was my favorite. I definitely enjoyed it more then chemistry!

ReplyDeleteIt's crazy how something so small can make such a big difference.
DeleteI liked doing the volcano. I still have one of my son's that he did years ago..
ReplyDeleteDo you ever use it again or just save it as a piece of art?
DeleteWe had a teacher that set up a water filter station. It was neat to pour in muddy water and watch it come out clean.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the directions for this experiment.
DeleteAnatomy was my favorite class.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI didn't really have a favorite.
ReplyDeleteFair enough :)
DeleteI never liked science or history in school but now I love them. I like biology and forensics.
