That's One Big Twinkie

This is not how we learned science back in the day. The entire family is hooked on Mythbusters. Last week the New York Times asked: Is Mythbusters the Best Science Show on Television? Perhaps this is not the appropriate question. The questions should be: Why isn't science education as exciting as Mythbusters? Not every classroom teacher has the charismatic personality or sense of humor of a Jamie Hyneman or an Adam Savage. However I believe that the one thing they can attempt is to make science relevant to the lives of their students.
