I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Disease Zone. It has scientists studying the causes and processes of illness . Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
I think it really depends on what your school offers, and what you are interested in. There are usually three sciences taught in high school: biology, chemistry, and physics. I did all three in high school, along with Math, English and Art. Doing all three gave me a good idea of which area I wanted to specialise in when I left school, and I learnt things in each subject that I could use in the others.

Dear Olive and Michelle; It is difficult to say what science subject is ‘the best’, rather I wish you think of what fits you the most. For broad sense, science can be divided into pure science and applied science, or social science and natural science, etc.
Whatever subject you hang on to, you got to dig it deep. I advise you to find out about yourself first. What subject are you interested most? Are you good in making questions? Do you have keen observations on things? Can you concentrate on the same subject for a long time or get bored easily. Do you like to stay indoor or outdoor? If you are a outdoor-oriented person, you wouldn’t be happy to stay in the lab all the time, would you?
For myself, I found research on medical science was good because it is interesting, may be applicable for cure or prevention of diseases, better possibility of funding, etc. Research on ocean could be challenging to me, too. After all ocean takes 70% of the earth, a lot to be discorevered for food, natural energy resources, etc.

It all depends on what it is you want to do, what your school offers and what your interests are! When I was at school I did biology, chemistry adn physics, as well as maths 1 & 2, English and music performance for my senior years. However, when my younger brother went to school, because he wasn’t as interested in science as me, but still wanted to do some science he did a subject that was offered at his school called Multistrand science – which was a mix of everything (he could do this because he didn’t want to study science at university).
So my advice would be to thin about what interests you? What sort of career do you think you might like to do? Another good thing to do is try to talk people who work in the area you think you might like to work in, and ask their advice

well, depends on where your interests are. I loved chemistry and biology. With chemistry, I just ‘got it’, my brain seems to be wired for chemistry. But physics on the other hand, I couldn’t stand. My brain just didn’t understand physics and I barely passed my exams. But I think a lot also has to do with the teacher. Some teachers are great at teaching difficult subjects, other teachers are really bad at teaching even simple subjects….

I’d go with ‘do as many of them as you can’! The more science you’re exposed to, the better you’ll be able to handle your part as a citizen of the world, and the more opportunity you’ll have to see if a career in science might be something that you’re interested in.
