Science is probably my worst subject, but I'm in an Energy in the 21st Century science class this semester and it's all kinds of fun. I'm a Marriage and Family Studies major and the class is full of Mechanical Engineering and Physics majors.
So naturally, the class is nice and nerdy and hilarious a lot of the time.
We like to make jokes about 100% efficient systems (utterly impossible) and nuclear energy (let's use nuclear energy for everything and have bombs rolling around everywhere!) and cats made of antimatter (because who doesn't want to completely obliterate a furry animal?).
We also play with liquid nitrogen a lot. (Did you know that when you stick your hand in liquid nitrogen really fast, it won't freeze because the heat from your hand makes it boil and all those bubbles make a pocket of air around your hand. Science is cool!)
And when we discuss how a car would get better gas mileage on the moon we can't ignore the fact that a car wouldn't be able to go anywhere on the moon because there's not enough oxygen to ignite the fuel (bahahaha)!
Science class is basically entertainment central. But what I really love is how a lot of these science major people are truly passionate about this stuff and it makes them happy! Their passion for science makes me happy. And I get a good laugh every once in a while, so that's an added bonus.
