I think parts of it are easy to learn! ‘Science’ is a really big topic and some parts of it are easier to learn than others, depending on what you’re interested in and what you’re good at. For example, people who work on conservation and spend time outside helping preserve rhino populations in Africa are doing science. But then people who work in engineering and perform lots of maths to work out how to build a bridge are also doing science.
I would say that being curious about the world and wanting to know how it works is the most important part of science and I think that’s easy to learn. Some parts of it will be more difficult, but all it takes is practice. A lot of the best scientists I know aren’t necessarily the smartest scientists, they’re the ones who work the hardest and practice most.

No subject is simple, science has many key theories and words but because it is so fun and interesting the more you know the more you can learn as its all connected.
