Chapter 18: The Wind Makes Dust Chapter 19: No such thing as a Dumb Question Chapter 20; A house on Fire

" The wind makes dust because it intends to blow, taking away our footprints."~ Bushmen folklore

     So many people find science hard to learn and hard to teach. Some reasons, to Carl, are precision, its disquieting aspects,  and it's prospects of misuse. Carl asks, is there something deeper? Carl admits that he doesn't believe that science is too hard to teach because humans aren't ready for it or because it arose only through a fluke or simply that we don't have the brain power to wrap our minds around it. Carl says the science that he sees in first graders is not what's expected. An inclination for science is embedded deeply within us. It is the means of our survival. Yet we discourage children from science. We are disenfranchising them, taking form them the tools needed to manage their future.

     In chapter's 19 and 20 Carl asks why children ask such great questions about the universe and science? He states that there is a problem in public education. this problem is in science and other subjects. They have problems that runs so deep it is easy to despair and conclude that they can never be fixed. And yet there are institutions in small town and in big cities that provide reason for hope. An example included Levin and Levine. They thought science should belong to everyone. their community agreed and made a commitment to realize that dream. It makes you wonder what else could we do if we worked together for a better future for kids.
