Enter the science lab and you will find a world of discovery. You will rarely find students sitting and listening. They are busy being scientists. The science lab is a place where we can safely explore the world, ask questions, and develop investigations to answer our questions. It is a place where we are free to wonder. It is a place where we learn that sometimes there is more than one right answer. Questioning our world is what leads to great discovery, to great inventions, and to great advancements in knowledge. In the science lab, we are all inventors, artists, scientists, writers, philosophers, and mathematicians. We all have the potential to become a genius.
