      I started learning science at school. I have been working as a scientist (not just in a classroom) for about 5 years now.

      Like most of you I started in school. But I chose a career in science when I went to university.

      Hi,

      I started learning science in school, but I really liked airplanes and space rockets. So I build model rockets and launched them high into the sky to watch how force and flight work. I even made a shuttle like rocket which attached a rocket engine to an airplane like glider model! That was super fun, but if you are going to do it make sure there is an adult in the area, I burned myself on one of the rocket engines and I still have a scar.

      As far as becoming a scientist, I did my first research project in 2010 which taught me that I love figuring out new knowledge and introduced me to the thrill of discovery!

      I hope that answers your question!

      Science is about knowledge and discovery so I started science when I was your age and probably younger! I used to use a magnifying glass to look at the small bugs in the garden or the ones I caught in the pond and I have been watching grown-up science TV shows since I was about 7 years old!

      You can do science at home and you don’t need fancy equipment or lots of colourful chemicals!

      I’ve always liked to learn more about the way the world works and I’ve always liked to explore nature and poke things and figure things out. So maybe I’ve always been a scientist. But over time I’ve learned more about what science actually is. I started studying science at university 5 years ago and have learned a lot since then!
