“When stimulated, which part of the human body grows up to ten times its size?” The science teacher for sixth grade, Mrs. Parks, questioned her class.
The group fell silent when snarky student Mary said, “You shouldn’t be asking us that!” My parents will inform the principal of what I tell them about.
Remaining persistent, Mrs. Parks posed the same query once again.
Mary’s expression changed from anger to shock.
The pupils whispered to each other until Billy, a reserved colleague, eventually raised his voice. “Is it the eye’s pupil?” he enquired.
Mrs. Parks smiled at them. “Just that, Billy!”
Then, turning to face Mary, she imparted three crucial ideas to her:

The students gained valuable knowledge: children must be mature and science may be enjoyable.
Have you ever discovered something unexpected after believing you knew something incorrect about a situation?
