      Hi candybell101,
      I had a fantastic teacher when I was about 12 who inspired my to question everything! Also, my Dad is a doctor so I would annoy him constantly with questions so he bought me lots of science books so he could get some peace and quiet 🙂

      Hey candybell101. Like Amy I also had a great science teacher when I was in year 8 (so also about 12!) who showed me how fun science can be. After that I pretty much just carried on with science because I enjoyed it and im still going!

      Hi candybell101,

      I saw a film about how DNA was discovered, and that made me very curious about science! I also wanted to know about science so I could tell when people are talking rubbish and when they are telling the truth about things. I joined chemistry club when I was 13, and we blew lots of things up, which was great too!
