Question: Hi, from 1 to ten how much do like teaching science?

I want to say 11, but that would be unscientific. So 10/10!

Teaching science is brilliant, whether you’re teaching a toddler or your nan. You get to think about and talk about how every bit of the universe works, you constantly learn new things from students and colleagues, and you get to do daft things like blowing up jelly babies. Nothing beats the look of pride when your students realise they really understand something for the first time, or when you are asked a question that you had never thought of yourself and have to work together to find the answer. I strongly recommend it!
