Your Best and Worst Memories of Science Class

The Takeaway

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.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
