        Science is great fun. I think its great to be trying to make the world a better place by improving it. We can make new medicines and materials and try to answer questions – like the ones on this site. It can be hard work at times, but definitely rewarding.

        I find it incredibly fun, I would find it really hard to work in science otherwise!
        Everyday is different when you work in science and it’s even better when the work you’re doing can have a positive impact on peoples lives. There are some hard times like when something won’t work or you can’t understand something, but if you are persistent it nearly always pays off.

        I honestly can’t think of a job that is more fun.

        I find science really fun. There is so much you can do in science from researching the solar system to seeing how animals behave to understanding how your television works!

        Everything in the world involves science in some way or the other thats what makes it so great and fun.

        Yes, I do find science fun! It is a very cool feeling when you realise that you might have been the first person EVER to have seen a certain thing, or to have made a certain thing happen!

        Yea, definitely. It’s a lot like solving a puzzle, except you never see most of the pieces and so you have to use what you know to make some good guesses.

        Trying to figure out why things happen in a certain why, or why they don’t happen, is really difficult but really good fun when you get used to it. I can’t imagine doing anything else.
