    For ever and ever. I’ve answered this one a few times already, so maybe you can look back over some of my previous posts.

    I started by breaking things apart and putting them back together. My parents thought I would want to be an engineer but I stopped working on electronics to start pulling bacteria apart later on. I never really thought about science in school but I was always interested in finding out how things worked. I guess its because of that that I found myself trying to work out how humans and other life works and you end up being a scientist if you follow that path.

    Hi basalt
    Both. For me, high school was a great introduction to science. Then going to university opened up a whole new world for me and I have never looked back!!

    I would say both. I was always interested, but it wasnt until I was older that I really learnt to appreciate what I was learning.

    So if you are interested in science now, but not really sure, dont be too worried about it. Just do the things that you enjoy along the way and if science is for you, you will fall into it.

    Hi basalt and onedirection,
    I was interested in science from when I was little. I have memories of pulling apart things to see how they worked and I was always asking questions and reading about animals and space and things like that. I really enjoyed my science lessons in Year 1 (we learnt about things like clouds and earthworms) so I think that’s where my interest in science really took off! I liked studying science right through primary school and high school, which is where I realised that I really liked chemistry and biology, so then I decided to keep studying those subjects at university. I think its important to study things that you enjoy, even if you don’t necessarily want to work in those fields when you are older, so if you like science (or anything else) then keep studying it and you’ll do well! (By the way, some people would probably say that I haven’t actually entered my ‘adult years’ yet!) 🙂
