Favourite Science

Which Science do you Enjoy the Most?

The graph speaks for itself – the favourite science of most children is Chemistry whilst the least favourite is Physics. We suspect that Einstein would not have been pleased!

We know that many children are daunted by the complexities of science so we thought this week we would lighten things up a little with some witty things that people have said about science over the years.

Science

I'm sure the universe is full of intelligent life. It's just been too intelligent to come here.
Arthur C. Clarke

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
Carl Sagan

Occams Razor is the scientific principle that, all things being equal, the simplest explanation is always the dog ate my homework.
Greg Tamblyn

Physics

Magnetism, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators.
Dave Barry

There's branches of science which I don't understand; for example, physics. It could be said, I suppose, that I have faith that physicists understand it better than I do.
Richard Dawkins

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe.
Albert Einstein

Biology

If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a non-working cat.
Douglas Adams

Apparently there are three levels of brain activity. Level 1 is the lowest level - the amount of concentration required to, say, delete emails or become a member of the House of Lords.
Bruce Cameron

The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program. And if we become extinct because we don't have a space program, it'll serve us right.
Larry Niven

Chemistry

I'm a chemical engineer. I'm not mentioning my job, I'm simply explaining why I'm always right.

Chemists do not usually stutter. It would be very awkward if they did, seeing that they have at times to get out such words as methylethylamylophenylium.
Sir William Crookes

Chemistry is like cooking – just don't lick the spoon.

A plethora of surveys!
