A spirit of exploration!

What is the spirit of science class? Matt Cho, also a Father Lacombe grad but now a current Carleton mechanical engineering student, offers this opinion:

"Science, whether it is Chemistry, Biology or Physics, it is fun to learn. The fun comes from the experiences in class. Chemistry is fun because you are able to mix chemicals (under supervision of course) and watch a nice change of color, watch something form or even get a small explosion (though that rarely ever happens).

In biology, which I have never taken myself, is fun as a lot of people say. You have a chance to dissect parts of animals or even whole animals, learn about how things work in your body and be amazed at how much something inside your body can do or maybe even shine a bright light on insects and see how their behaviours change.

Physics, though it is mostly math, may sometimes be fun. You get to see how fast and how far u can shoot something, find out how much fore Superman needs to use to stop a train moving at a certain speed or, if you’re lucky enough, u might get to watch your teacher swing a bucket of water all the way around, then miscalculating how much velocity is needed for the water to stay in the bucket as it is at the top of the swing and gets water dumped all over him or her.

Science is not as boring as many people think, working hard and studying hard and you might just get rewarded with doing some fun labs and experiments."
