Essay: How do you think Science could be more appealing to teenagers?
Science has become in a significant aspect in the modern world. Thanks to the great advances in science we are in constantly
develpoment (development) as a society. However, it seems that this theme is not attractive enough for young people.
The main reason why it happens may be because there are not too many programmes about science on the media and, because of this, teenagers believe that it is too tought to understand. For this reason, it would be a good idea to introduce science in a more effective way on the media, for example, creating funny TV and radio programmes about science using slang, it means, adapted to a young audience.
Another solutions may be introduce more laboratories and science stuff like microscopes in school and to increase museum visits, so students can develop real interest in science.
To sum up, I personally feel that there are too many ways to become science more appealing to teenagers, but we need to put ourselves in their shoes and try to understand how they think.
Note: Is it correct to say "we need to put in their shoes"? I mean, that we have to put in their place, to try to feel how they feel. There is a similar expression in Spanish, "ponerte en los zapatos del otro"
Thanks!
