basic blocks broad building depth earth explain four interest marine picture plant relate science sciences understand
We tell them about Earth science, astronomy, plant science and marine science. But what we don't do is explain what the four basic sciences are and what the building blocks are. We go too broad too early. We don't go in depth enough.... You've got to understand the big picture of what science is and how all the sciences relate to one another. If you don't do that, you'll never get it and you'll never get a real interest in science.

chemistry drive everybody extremely flash home open science
It's extremely dry. Open up any chemistry book, it's awful. Everybody can do the volcano, everybody can do some of the science experiments where things flash and you get puffs of smoke. That's fun, it's entertaining for the kids, but it really doesn't drive home any of the principles.
best century change foreign happen innovators interested kids scientific unless
That is not going to happen this century unless we get more kids interested in science. We have 39 of the 50 best scientific institutions in the world. But U.S. enrollment is down and foreign enrollment is up. We have to change that if we want to be the innovators of the future.
