"I thought science would have been hard and boring because of the questions but now I love it because of the work and challenges and experiments." (Billingham, Jan 2006)

"I like science more now because we got to do fun science experiments and figure most of it out ourselves." (Tees Valley, Autumn 2005)

"I like science more because I learnt a lot of things and I understand more about heat exchanging, clean water and sealants." (Whinstone, November 2005 )

"I like it more because I have seen what you do in industry." (Huddersfield, Summer 2006)

"Children could see the value of science as not just another school subject but something that happened in the 'real world'." (Class teacher, Hartlepool)
