I’ve been to the Mind Museum twice
in my whole life. During those visits, I was wowed by everything the exhibits
had to offer. Though I was not able to watch any demonstrations, the museum
tour was still pretty awesome. This time around, the Mind Museum came to our
class and it was nothing short of amazing.
I learned so much from the talk,
but the one main thing I realized is that people are scared of learning science
because of all the difficult terms and hard-to-imagine theories. From what the
Mind Movers (the speakers) said, science can be taught in a way that is easy to
visualize and understand. All it takes is some creativity for science to look
less intimidating. The big terms are just names, as the Mind Movers said; we
should put our focus on the gist of how a certain scientific theory works and work
our way up from there. Through simple experiments using everyday items, people
can learn so much without having to have a degree in science.
Science is a very wonderful thing
and it would be a waste if people won’t try to understand it. This is why
teaching science in a simple way is crucial in our society. When people discover
that they understand something, they’re going to want to know more. This is the
kind of curiosity that we need to see today because this will eventually lead
to progress in the human race.
