But perhaps the rest of us could have separate classes in science appreciation, the wonder of science, scientific ways of thinking, and the history of scientific ideas, rather than laboratory experience.

Summary

This quote suggests that while laboratory experience is important, there should also be separate classes to promote science appreciation, wonder, scientific thinking, and the history of scientific ideas. It implies that not every student needs to engage in direct experimentation, but they should still have the opportunity to develop an appreciation and understanding of science. These separate classes could provide a broader perspective, fostering curiosity and critical thinking skills necessary for scientific literacy, even without practical laboratory work.
