Children live in a world in which science has tremendous importance. During wNQqfq Z
their lifetimes it will affect them more and more. In time, many of them will work at

jobs that depend heavily on science --- for example, concerning energy sources, ?

as with its facts and principles. Fortunately, science has a natural appeal for le

youngsters. They can relate it to so many things that they encounter ---- flashlights, g1[&c+=U`P
tools, echoes, and rainbows. z;3NiY
Besides, science is an excellent medium for teaching far more than content. It F]=B'ZI
can help pupils learn to think logically, to organize and analyse ideas. It can provide sa#.l% #
practice in communication skills and mathematics. In fact, there is no area of the +"!aM?o
curriculum to which science cannot contribute, whether it be geography, history, 4<v;1
language arts, music, or art! W |U tY `1

attitude.” Those who possess it seek answers through observing, experimenting, and zVaCXNcbo
reasoning, rather than blindly accepting the pronouncements of others. They weigh $kz!zjC'
evidence carefully and reach conclusions with caution. While respecting the opinions w]!0<
of others, they expect honesty, accuracy, and objectivity and are on guard against ^Kq|ID

hasty judgments and sweeping generalizations. All children should be developing this ^ddO&! U
approach to solving problems, but it cannot be expected to appear automatically with ;VzMU
