Adult A2 learners are curious about science but trapped by vocabulary. They watch documentaries, read about health and technology in their first language, and have questions about how the world works. In English, though, they cannot get past 'science is interesting.' These 50 questions make science accessible at A2 by focusing on personal experience and everyday observation: 'Do you like watching science programmes on TV?' 'What is the most interesting animal?' 'Is the weather in your country changing?' Each question draws on what adults already know and wonder about.
The vocabulary gives A2 adults the basic science words they need for general conversation: 'experiment,' 'discovery,' 'planet,' 'temperature,' 'species,' and 'medicine.' These are words that appear in news and everyday life but that A2 speakers rarely produce in English. Building this foundation vocabulary opens the door to richer discussions as their English develops.
Science through everyday curiosity
A2 adults discussing science produce their best English when questions connect to things they have personally observed. 'Has the weather changed in your country?' draws on decades of personal experience. 'Do you think robots will do our jobs?' draws on anxieties they already have. The science framing gives vocabulary; the personal connection generates speech.
Core science words for general English
For general English courses, science questions provide a welcome change from textbook staples like shopping and transport. Adult learners who are bored by routine topics come alive when asked about space, animals, or medical breakthroughs. The novelty of the topic itself generates engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The questions ask about personal interest, curiosity, and observation, not scientific expertise. 'What is the most interesting animal?' requires an opinion, not a biology degree.
Not at A2. The vocabulary covers general science terms that appear in everyday English: weather, animals, space, health, and technology. No specialist knowledge is required.
