Chemistry
In the natural and physical sciences, a vital strategy in helping students discover their purpose is to present scenarios in which they can experience the exhilaration of discovery. The moment a young researcher detects that he or she has made a contribution to the unknown—however incremental—the student becomes impassioned and will immediately begin crafting the next logical experiment.
