Most of the school day is very boring for me, but the best part of the school day is when I go to science lab. In the science lab, we are able to do science experiments and look at scientific models. Instead of just learning vocabulary words and reading about science in a book, we actually get to do science! For example, one day, the teacher was teaching us about solids, liquids, and gases. She started with ice, melted it, and then boiled it so that we could see the steam. On another day, our teacher talked to us about the water cycle.

Next week, we are going to do an experiment with magnets. I really like getting to see science in the lab. Which best states the main idea of the paragraph. a.
