Science is a big part in people’s everyday lives. People use it everyday without even noticing. In Madison Local Schools we have a wide variety of different science classes and different science teachers. I interviewed Mr. Pira for his own personal thoughts on science. He explains how science is his favorite subject because it’s life and it’s what we do and it’s what we are. I also asked him about the project he and other students are currently working on outside. He mentions how it is a student project in an honors ecology course that is going to be an outdoor classroom. It’s purpose is to bring about and approve human well being in terms of mental health issues. The healing power of nature can help mental health issues. It is also a nice space to do chemical based projects, so it does not get too messy when it is indoors. Also, soil labs and dissections go along with this that tend to stink up the science lab or science wing. The outdoor classroom is an easy way to prevent those smells. He also says how it doesn’t have to be a space only for science, but other subjects such as English or any other subject that needs the outdoor space. It gives a different environment to inspire different ideas. This space is useful for a lot of things and it’s very helpful. A lot of students will find this space useful as it gives a different perspective rather than being stuck in a classroom all day.
