Yes, especially my crazy chemistry teacher :). Didn’t really do much at primary school, but my dad was a doing his degree with the open university and had a home science kit that I got to help with so that got me hooked 🙂

I liked almost everything in school. The only subject I ever hated was music. There were obviously bits of science I liked more than other bits, but I found things changed over the years depending on teachers and the course.
In primary school science was dull. We mostly did gravity and capacity again and again every year. In secondary school I got to do fun experiments with real chemicals, changing the nature or colour of things and making things fizz. My first year of chemistry was awful because the teacher was really bad at explaining things, but the next year I had an amazing teacher and vowed to do chemistry at university. I used to love biology until GCSE when they made me do too much human biology and learn about organs. Most of the time I loved science and looked forward to the lessons and learning and making new things.

Yes I did. I loved human and animal biology (although I was never very interested in plants and ecology), and I enjoyed dissections in particular.
I also loved both chemistry and physics, especially the practical work. I found physics more logical and mathematical than chemistry, but I liked the challenge of chemistry.

Almost always, be it rolling cars down ramps, dropping balls of the roof or cutting up sheeps eyes; I don’t actually remember doing a lot of chemistry experiments in school. The one I most remember is putting a potato in sugar water and then measuring its weight to see if it had absorbed any of the sugar, thinking about it, that might have actually been biology. I do remember drawing a circle of ink on paper and dropping some alcohol on it to see the ink being moved along the paper eventually splitting into a few rings of different colours. I found it a surprise that black ink had quite a bit of yellow in there.
