My son is starting his first week of high school. I am recommending to him that he pose related questions to his physics teacher:

- "Is it okay to wash a toaster in a dishwasher?"

- "Is it okay to put an electric hair drier in a fish tank when it is plugged in?"

And I am hoping he gets a very productive year of science for the effort.



If he's anything like my high school science teachers he'll be told to shut up and hated by his peers for daring to ask questions.


We loved to get my high school physics teacher off on tangents by asking questions about weird things or stories about how he almost died or something


That's one possible outcome. Another is that you resolve with your teacher early in the year the role of experimental results.
