      I think that I was about 10 or so. I was starting to think about how things worked. Once I got to secondary school, I was hooked

      During GCSE/Standard Grade, so I’d have been about 14. I liked how logical chemistry in particular was and enjoyed being able to use what I was being taught to solve other problems.

      My parents gave me a chemistry kit as a Christmas present when I was 10 or 11 years old, and I was immediately hooked. When Chemistry later became I subject at school it was my favourite straightaway.

      I guess I started to enjoy science at around 10… My P6 and P7 teachers were both trained scientists and we did lots of science in those classes. They also taught me the maths skills I’d need to understand science more.

      I have always been quite inquisitive, and I’ve enjoyed science for as long as I can remember knowing about it. At both primary and secondary school I loved doing experiments.

      I’m not sure what age specifically, I think when I went to secondary school and started to learn about Chemistry, Biology and Physics!

      I started to enjoy science at secondary school when we started to do a lot more hands-on practical experiments

      When I started doing experiments for myself, with my own hands, so in high school. It’s one thing to read about science or hear someone talk about it, but quite another to do things for yourself.

      About 15 I think, when we were allowed to carry out experiments in the lab in school.
