Science is Cool

I am a science geek. I love all things about science. When I was a kid I loved Mr. Wizard, and wished there were more shows like that for kids. When I was in high school I took all the science classes I could. Most people took sluff classes with their extra credits. I took physics. Still, it doesn’t take long for science topics to go over my tiny brain. Some thing get complex fast. Every week I watch Robert Krampf’s Experiment of the Week. It’s geared towards kids, but hell, I learn stuff from him every week. This week I learned why some flames burn yellow, and other burn blue.

It’s things like this that makes me envy kids these days. With the Internet, there is so much information out there that makes it easy to learn stuff. The sad thing is there is also a lot of bad stuff out there. The tough part I am sure, is teaching kids to want to learn. When I was a kid I wasn’t as interested in learning, but it was also a lot harder to look things up. Nowadays, if there is anything I am curious about, I look it up. My mind is full of useless information now.
