Describe an area of science (biology, robotics, etc.)that you are interested in and would like to learn more about

Part 3 Follow Up Questions

1. Why do some children not like learning science at school?
   There are many reasons why some children don’t like learning science at school. The first reason is
   that learning science requires a strong background in other
   subjects like math and reading comprehension. So, for example if students face problems in math,
   they wouldn’t be able to master science as well. Secondly, science also requires students to
   remember a lot of theories and formulas.
2. Is it important to study science at school?
   Yes, science is really important to learn at school. Science tells students how the world around
   them works and functions. Moreover, science promotes rational and logical thinking, which is really
   important in making us a calm and objective person.
3. Which science subject is the most important for children to learn?
   I think it depends upon the children. Personally, I hated physics because it involved a lot of 3Dimagination
   and I was really bad at it. Some of my friends were bad at memorising formulas and so
   they didn’t like Chemistry.
4. Should people continue to study science after graduating from school?
   If they have an interest in science, they should certainly study about it. It can tell them about the
   new inventions happening in the world. This can open up new business ideas and opportunities for
   them. However, if they don’t have an interest in science, I don’t think they should force themselves
   to read about it.
5. How do you get to know about scientific news?
   I think there are some newspapers which publish the latest scientific news. For example, The Hindu
   newspaper. Another way could be to subscribe to scientific journals.
6. Should scientists explain the research process to the public?
   No, I don’t think explaining the research process would be beneficial. In fact, I feel it would make
   scientific inventions even more boring. I think the research process should be shared with other
   scientists, but there is no use of sharing it with ordinary human beings.
7. What’s the best invention in the past hundred years?
   I think there are many inventions which have transformed our lives, but I think invention of internet
   has had the maximum impact. Today, we have endless information available at our fingertips and
   we can communicate with anyone sitting anywhere.
8. What’s the influence of science on human life?
   I think there are two main influences of science. First, science brings logic and reasoning in human
   life. It reduces the impact of superstition and makes us more open-minded and accepting of others.
   Second, science and inventions have made our life much more comfortable as compared to the
   past.
9. What can individuals do for scientific research?
   I think most science inventions happen accidentally. Individuals see a need and they come up with
   an idea to address that need. That is how, new inventions take place. Individuals can also donate
   money to scientific organisation to fund scientific research.
10. What influence can international cooperation in science bring about?
    There main challenges to scientific research in today’s time is the lack of funding and lack of access
    to information. International cooperation can address both of them. If countries share funds and
    their knowledge, scientific research would definitely receive a boost.
