Get a pocket microscope (Hell, I'll even buy this one for you amazon pocket scope thing ) They're fun and keep your mind interested.

I quickly realized that setting up experiments taking measurements, and then trying to use the measurements to predict future outcomes was the most amazing feeling.

I found that looking through books for the things that were learned in the order of which science learned it was really helpful.

It was horribly bad, extremely rough numbers, but there was an obvious parabolic correlation to our numbers.

We covered:

• making a hypothesis
  
• postulating methods to test this hypothesis.
  
• making predictions that fall within our experimental evidence.
  
• reasons our test failed, and ways we could improve it.
  
• precision in measurement
