The children’s interest can be created when the mechanical model that I have developed is used as an introduction.

Please find it in paper SSRN 2600103 on the internet and also a diagram of the model in Wikimedia, commons, macroeconomics, DiagFuncMacroSyst.pdf if the first reference fails.

You can’t actually MAKE a child or anyone love something – they either do or they don’t! but you can create opportunities that MIGHT make something fun or exciting rather than dull or boring X not everyone HAS TO love science – it’s a diverse world!

I my self love science and see it as mainly a delight in working out what things are and why they are and that has never left me due to a dad that kind of understood and one teacher that inspired me more than any one will ever know ok iv never discoverd anything new to thevworld but i find things new to me each day and i hope others will do the same
