Manny Vital Age 63
Manny shared his memory of the beginning of the space race. "My favorite science memory, with out doubt, was the launching of rockets on the playground circa 1960. The Russians had just launched Sputnik which started the space race. I wanted to be an astronaut; Allen Shepherd, John Glenn, real American heroes." -
Perry Brown Age 57
My dad does not have a Facebook account, but did share a funny memory he had when he taught science during his first year of teaching. "I was a PE major and I only taught science four years long long ago. Funniest storym but embarrassing. As a first year teacher, my ex wife does my bulletin board... Puts paleontology in large letters on the board. A student, Dawn, asked "What is paleontology?" and I say "why" and she says it is on your board... WOW... "Open your books. I will show you how." -
Jayne Kennedy Age 56
Jayne shared a science memory that made an impact on the world. "I am 56 and my favorite science memory was the 1st landing on the moon. We watched it unfold in our elementary classroom!!" -
Female Friend of a Friend Age 51
My teacher passed on a science memory from her friend. "(A friend wanted to help) she is 51 and her science memory is making a terrarium and watching the miracle of its growth." -
Vickie Brown Age 50
Vickie's repsonse was the use of a new technology, the microwave. "my favorite science invention.... the microwave.... because before that.. it took a long time to warm up baby Jessie's milk on top of the stove." -
David Horne Age 43
David shared a memory of a unspervised science experiement that created an explosion. "We took some potassium and sulphur out of the science lab....borrowed it of course. We tested it on some fish in a tank first.....really reactive to water. You should have seen the fish which actually ate some.....like a bomb!!!! We showed my friends brother how a small piece reacted. It sucked in the water around it and then with a big woody three water up atleast 20 feet into the air with little fire..." -
Kelly Evans Age 39
Kelly's memory of science related to her nurturing 10th grade science teacher. "I remember just starting the 10th grade and my science teacher was so nice, and she loved teaching! She made science seem so exciting. When she told the class we had to disect a baby pig, I cried. I was completely mortified! She came over to my desk and patted me on the back and said, 'We will let someone else do the disecting part and you can take notes. It will be okay.' I was so relieved. Unfortunatly..." -

Bill remembered a method of learning about anatomy. "'There are 206 bones in the body' like that? Mr. Leslie had us go through, in song of course, in 7th grade. new bones every week :) He would point to a bone and say something like, 'Pelvis, like El-vis'." -

Andrew Guyton Age 26
Andrew's memory of science was a science experiement in 10th grade. "well in 10th grade chemistry class, she was covering the alkali metals and our lab was to take a small chunk of lithium that had been wrapped in foil, and to drop it into a test tube of water, where it'd fizz as the water reacted with the metal.
I'd venture to guess that my foil wasn't wrapped tightly, as I dropped it into my test tube of water, it was promptly fired out of the test tube and across the room." -
Rachael Hurtz Age 25
Rachael remembered learning how to chart genomes and understanding genetics, "In 7th grade I learned about genes and what is dominant Nd recessive . We learned how to tell what color rabbits would be and how many plants would female or male by doing charts..we also learned about ourselves. Why we had blue eyes or how we got our hairline from what parent.. I loved it. I thoroughly enjoyed the activities and so I learned the material and did well and there for enjoyed it more. Hope it helps" -
