To begin with, I want you to answer quite a simple question: What is Science?

(Pupils try to define the term).

Thanks a lot.

Look at the screen. You can see the definition given by a famous microbiologist Rita Colwell: “Science is discovery. Science is fun. Science is understanding what makes a clock tick and what makes a cat purr, what makes the Sun rise and what makes the Moon look so large on the horizon…”

Isn’t it wonderful?

John Boswell, a musician, Ann Druyan, an author and producer, Carl Sagan, a famous astronomer, and Steven Soter, an astrophysicist, have started making a project which aims to tell the young generation about biological, chemical, physical and other phenomena using electronic music. I’ve found one of their first songs. It is about science. Let’s listen to it and Find out whether our point of view on science differs from that of famous scientists.
