Science can be fun


Hi, I have found an interesting interview to the scientist Michio Kaku. He explains why most children hate science at school: basically, it's the school system itself that makes you hate it!!


As Kaku says, everybody is born a scientist: we wonder where things come from, we calculate, we analyse, we compare, we test... but usually, things that we understand. Mr. Kaku probably dislikes textbooks, just like me (remember, here "like" means "como")! Can you guess what puts children off science, according to him?

Before you watch the interview (1 minute 30 seconds), how about focusing on some of the words that you might learn?. Can you guess what these words and expressions mean? You will hear them in the interview:
-there's another way-
-first of all-
-what's out there?-
-and then, something happens-
-not true at all-
-in my entire life-

Here's the interview (subtitled):


I will give you the answers tomorrow, but I'm sure it'll be easy for you!
