“More young people should study Science\London, said at a conference for young scientists last weekend.\"More young people should take Science subjects at school and study them at university, \"she said.\"Scientists can change the world and can improve life for everyone. We also need more people who want to teach science and do scientific research.\"
But there was bad news from Professor George Benson, a research scientist and university Science teacher, who was also at the conference.\"Science courses at university are very good,\" he said, \"but there’s a real problem with Science teaching in schools. One in three people who teach Physics to 15-and 16-years-olds don’t have a physical degree. Not enough people are studying Science at university and this means that there are not enough science teachers.\"
Mrs Wallace didn’t agree.\"It’s true that the number of Science pupils fell between 2000 and 2010.\"She said .\"But now the numbers are rising again. The number of students who take Science subjects at school is much higher now than it was five years ago.\"
9
Professor Benson was certain that numbers were still too low and added, \"There’s still a problem with science lessons in schools. Most young people think that Science is boring or difficult or both. We have to find ways to interest 12-16 years olds in studying Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Old-fashioned teaching methods have to change, We must spread the news that Science is very important, but it can also be fun.\" 88.What does Hazel Wallace do? 89.Who was the conference for?
90.The number of science pupils is falling, isn’t it?
91.According to Benson, what can teachers do to make Science lessons more interesting? 92.What might be the topic of the conference?
93.will you choose Science as your major at university? Why or Why not?(Explain in 2-3 sentences.)
