On today’s show, we’re looking at some new science guidelines to help improve the teaching of science – and to reduce the intimidation factor, though many Takeaway listeners weren’t exactly intimidated by their science classroom experiences. We asked for your memories, good and bad, of science class and got stories about flirty classmates, burning desks, and much more.
