In reoliry, this rarely happens. The labs done in rhe science classes re- quire lots of concentration and re- sponsibility Often, students also manage to have fun while learning the materials. Jeff Hoynes described his marine science lobs as fun until we started studying muscles for three days in a row Kris Choi, with o slightly more scientific view on things, said, The labs were tedious and hazardous to your health, but they gave you a Kim Quirk loolss up from lier nores during Q Shown Longer exomines inis specimen a science lecrure ro see rhere is srill fifreen leaf somple, under o Inigln-power micro- minures lefr ro go scope ro find rhe chloroplasrs. better understanding of why reoc- tions happen.
