  When it comes to science, I have many mixed thoughts and beliefs. Though it may not be my favorite subject to study (which by the way it's actually my worst), I find most of it very intriguing. For example, astronomy has always been one of my interests as my mom has a huge telescope in our attic at home. Almost every night she'll go up there and take a look at the night sky, and occasionally I will go up there to observe as well. Also, living on Mill Pond has definitely made an influence on my interest in science. It's amazing what can be seen! There are great blue herons (which I personally believe are the most beautiful birds out there), swans, Canada geese, painted and snapping turtles, and of course, numerous families of ducks. In conclusion, science is a very fun and fascinating topic, and I'm sure that I'll have a blast this year in class.

  I also like science. My favorite subject to learn about is plants and animals. I like all the labs and the hands on activities.
  
  P.S- looking forward to Roots and Shoots

  I think science is "ok". Some topics I really just don't find interesting, like astronomy. On the other hand, I enjoy studying topics like animals and plants which include plant and animal cells. I am excited to see all of the topics that we will be studying!

  I think that science is a very interesting subject. While it may not be my favorite, it changes the way I look at the world around me. Science has also helped me understand others more as well. The rational, logical way of thinking that comes with being a scientist has helped me understand why certain people act the way they do. It's also helpful in dealing with a diverse group of other subjects, such as animals, cooking, and music, to name a few. All in all, I think science is an important part of our lives, even though I may not be too fond of it.

  Science is fun to me when we get to do expiriments.My least favorite part of science is doing work out of a science book.I really hope that we get to do a lot of expiriments this year.

  In my honest opinion I like science. Science is a challenge for me but I like a challenge.In science I dont like some of the subjects such as: earthquakes and volcanoes, storms and hurricanes, fossils, and other subjects.

  I think that science is intresting in some cases. For example I dont find planets and space very exciting, although I enjoy learning about genetics. I dont know why I dont like science, my dad also taught science and people usually think I would.

  I dont really like science. Even though i dont like science the labs are pretty fun. Science is not one of my most favored subjects

• Kate B.

  I like science for the most part, especially hands-on labs. A lot of what you said was really interesting, and when you really think about it, most stuff does circle back to science. Astronomy is really cool also, I like learning about the planets. I really like learning about animals, too.

  To me science is a very interseting subject. Some topics I like more than others, and the ones I don't like as much, still aren't that bad. Last year I loved learing about the human body and the protista/bacteria units. I am also very excited to study herditiy!

• kaitlyn wetzel

  I think science is somewhat boring on some subjects but can also be very interesting. I find that science is a difficult subject to learn.I don't see the need to study and learn some of the material if I am never going to use it later on in life.

  9/9/2009 3:23:57 PM
• Emily Webster

  I think some aspects of science is very interesting. For example, I think how the human body works is so amazing because it has all these different systems working together to help you function. However, I do not think talking about the different types of rocks and the earth's core and that kind of science very is very intriguing.

  I enjoy science and am looking forward to science this year. I want to be a doctor when I get older. I need to learn science and biology in order to become a doctor.

  In geneal, I like science. I like to learn about astronomy and the human body. My favorite system for the human body is the skeletory system. I don't like ecology or zoology. I like cellular biology as well. I also like microbiology.

• Francesca Dripps

  I like science, but not everything about science. I'm really interested in MOST mammals (dogs, horses, dolphins, and whales to name a few) and their behaviors. Why they act certain ways and how they react certain ways to different situations. Almost anything about animals gets my attention. ALMOST anything. When I was little I helped my dad in his veggie garden, so that kinda explains my semi-passion or gardening. I can't sit in the dirt for hours and be perfectly content, but I do enjoy watching the plants grow and change.
  
  So I DO like science, just not everything under the science category.

  I don't really like science that much but it has always been a class I get good grades in and don't hate. In science I always like doing labs and projects much more that paperwork and boring things. There are just things in science that I like a lot more than other things. For example I didn't like the The Kingdoms last year but I did like astronomy more. Thats what I like about science.

  As a little kid I would always go around looking for toads and salamanders under rocks, so that sort of got me into science. After looking at some biology stuff I realized I liked physics and chemistry more. So then I got a Bill Bryson book which was pretty much a general book of science. This book and "The Way Things Work" got me very interested in science.

• Julia Pitino

  You're right, it is very odd that you have grown up to be a scientist, despite the lack of science you experienced in your childhood. Maybe some people were simply meant for the field of science. Those facts that you listed were very interesting, and I never would have guessed that some trees live to be thousands of years old! Coming into 8th grade, I don't absolutely love science but I am interested in it and would love to learn some new, interesting things. Hopefully you can make me like science even more than I do now.

• Jon Melberg

  I feel that science is a very important subject and is all around us. Some of my favorite topics in science are astronomy, electricity, and nature. The only topic I dislike is cells. Overall science has been one of the most exciting class's to me over the years.

  9/9/2009 4:27:53 PM
• mark marshall

  I like science to, but not enought to teach it. I think robots and engineering are interesting. I also like the exotic specieis of animals around the world specificly marine life.

  9/9/2009 4:29:17 PM
• Katie Goodwin

  I like science class because it is more interesting than other classes. I like doing labs and hands on work. I also like being outside.

  9/9/2009 4:36:28 PM
• Ben Roop

  I find science to be somewhat interesting, depending on the topic. I like hands on activities done as labs. I do not like to answer questions from the textbook or to take long notes. I think seeing a movie on topics gives me a better understanding of things.

  9/9/2009 4:36:28 PM
• Kristen Smith

  Mrs. Finnerty, I also enjoy exploring new things. You seem like you're a very adventerous person.

  9/9/2009 4:46:24 PM
• Sydney Vacca

  I find science with nature and living things more interesting than astronomy and chemical reactions. I love nature and animals so I perfer to learn to discover facts about those topics. Though Hands-on science experiments are usually fun too! Hopefully this year I will enjoy more topics than I have in the past.

  9/9/2009 4:48:07 PM
• Jacklyn

  Science is not my favorite school subject, and I am not the best in science either. My favorite science topic is astronomy and i probably do the best in that topic as well. Sometimes I do enjoy science and it is fun.

  9/9/2009 4:50:59 PM
• Marcus Otis

  Hi. I also love science, but not all of it. I am really into astromony and learning about how spefic things work, like the body for an example. Although i am not into chemistry. I see that it is important to learn, but i find it boring and sometimes annoying. To me chemisty can get a little to close to math, like im good at math but i like to keep it in math class and not in science class. Well I am looking foward to a good year.

  9/9/2009 5:18:13 PM
• Hannah Montemgno

  I have mixed feelings about science classes. This is because some days we do labs and group activities which to me, are more fun. However, other days we do worksheets, reading and tests, which i dont find very fun. Though i get that science will help in the future, it is not my favorite class now but you never know in coming years.

  9/9/2009 6:00:16 PM
• Valerie Higgins

  Cool! I honestly don't have a favorite class (yet) so science is pretty evenly ranked with the others. My favorite part of science is probably rocks, minerals, and gemstones. I would love to do a lab on gems, using microscopes or something...! I usually enjoy doing labs, but they are not usually my strongest skill. Science is pretty cool, so I can't wait to find out what's in store for us this year!!!

  9/9/2009 6:13:50 PM
• tommy angell

  i too am a fan of living nature and whenever i see a pond i do tend too look in it i think wild life is cool also

  9/9/2009 6:21:40 PM
• Isaac Levine

  Science, to me, can be boring if it is lectured. If I am doing an actual hands-on experiment, I feel that I am more likely to learn more from the activity. When it comes to what subjects I like, it is mostly space, astronomy, etc. I do feel science is very important, along with math because those are involved with engineering.

  9/9/2009 7:04:28 PM
• Erika Forsberg

  I like science a lot. I really enjoy doing labs in class and working with other students. I also really like working with microscopes and animals. Studying about ocean life is cool too.

  9/9/2009 8:34:00 PM
• Jared

  To me science doesnt interest me, it seems like theres more than to finding out about living creatures or Studyin small chemicals. I dont like science at all really, It isnt my strong subject really

  9/9/2009 8:53:54 PM
• Brendan Burke

  Science has never been one of my favorite subjects, but there are certain aspects of it that I like. For example, I very much enjoy the study of genetics and medicical science. Yet, I'm not too fond of data colletion.Who knows, maybe I have a future career in the world of science

• sean-m fladager

  you don't have to worry about trying to get me to like science. that is because i already think science is an amazing subject. what i like most are the hands on activity's and messing with chemicals. however i really don't like dissecting anything.

  Well Mrs.Finnerty i also enjoy looking under rotted logs and rcoks and animals, because i like right by a swamp. I learn alot about living things because where i live tehre is alot of trees and deer and animals that trvael through my yard. when winter comes i love walking around the year and looking at the animal footprints and then i can attempt to indentify them.

  9/10/2009 1:55:05 PM
• Travis Bassett

  I like science also but I'm not sure why. It is probably because I like to explore the outdoors. In science class i like the lab experiments the most. However I get bored when we are just talking in class.

  9/10/2009 1:59:28 PM
• Laura Platts

  I like science very much because I like studing animals. Also my dad is a scientist and he helps me somtimes with my science stuff. My favorite subject in science is astronomy because I don't just like space I also like the history behind it. Finally I like hands on projects very much.

  9/10/2009 2:22:05 PM
• Joey rogers

  Hi! Science has never been one of my favorite subjects, but I still enjoy different types of the subject. My favorite type of science is enviormental science. My least favorite would have to be marine biology. It gets me grossed out.

  Last year, science was one of my best subjects. I don't love it, or hate it, kind of in the middle. I enjoy some lessons and I like hands on more that just filling in papers or book work. Hope its a good yearr.

  9/10/2009 2:49:05 PM

  Science is probably my 2nd favorite subject. I too am amazed how everything around us is made and involved with science. I am thinking about become a genetic engineer when I grow up. Nothing has really pushed me toward this except a show called superhumans on discovery where specific humans with amazing abilities are featured, and their talents are shown.

  9/10/2009 4:13:58 PM
• Jessica Peterson

  To be honest, science has never been one of my favorite subjects. When we do labs and things that involve working together I don't really mind it. When it comes to worksheets and the science text book, science is not really my thing. Maybe through the year, I will feel stronger of this subject and enjoy it as well.

  9/10/2009 4:28:17 PM
• Colby Galliher

  My favorite parts of science are astronomy and microscopes. I like looking at the moon and stars during the night. I also love seeing the tiny life of things like pond water under a microscope.

  9/10/2009 4:40:53 PM
• Emily Stearns

  The only thing I enjoy learning about in science is the human body and diseases. Everything else that we learn about in science bores me. I don't enjoy learning about animals, the stars or plants. Overall, science is not my favorite subject.

  9/10/2009 5:48:19 PM
• Sophie Anderson

  Science really doesn't interest me to much, one reason is because the career I hope I turn out doing doesn't really doesn't involve school science. Also because it doesn't come across interesting. But hopefully this year will be a little fun.

  9/10/2009 6:09:45 PM
• Chloe Shelford

  I like some parts of science, especially social sciences like sociology and psychiatry. Chemistry and the math-like science seems cool as well. I hope we do some neat labs.

  9/10/2009 6:46:09 PM
• Josh Nichols

  i think science is fun when we do hands on activities. I think so because i like to see how things turn out not just read them in a book or hear a commentary about it. Im really looking forward to doing labs this year.

  9/10/2009 6:53:05 PM
• tom chebuske

  i dont really like science that much. but i think that this science year will be fun. my favorite topic would have to be the labs and the hand on activtys.

  I don't really like science, because a lot of it involves math. The parts that don't involve math are fun, and I like lab work a lot. I enjoy when I get to work with people and we figure out a problem together. I also think that hands on experiments allow me to learn material quicker then reading about information. Thank you for posting blogs that we can learn from, I really appreciate it.

  9/13/2009 7:41:16 PM
• Jin Wong

  I'm not sure wether I like science or not. It mostly depends on what the unit is. I enjoy looking through microscopes, oceanography, environmental science, and astronomy. They all interest me because there are things that have not been discovered or there are mysteries in them. Like, what else is in the ocean?? And if there is other life in space, what else is there and have they visited planet Earth before?

  9/13/2009 8:02:08 PM
• Alex McLaughlin

  Science isn't my favorite subject but I enjoy learning about it. The labs seem interesting to me and are probably my favorite part of science. Although, when we are just sitting in class getting lectured I am not a fan. I am looking forward to science class this year.
