exploration. And, as consumers, they will be bombarded (受到轰击) by advertising, Q$2^m(?;
much of which is said to be based on science. yGPi9j{QXq
Therefore, it is important that children, the citizens of the future, become 0'Qo eFKG
functionally acquainted with science---- with the process and spirit of science, as well z(beT e

of others, they expect honesty, accuracy, and objectivity and are on guard against #-u?+N k/
hasty judgments and sweeping generalizations. All children should be developing this @y`7csb p
approach to solving problems, but it cannot be expected to appear automatically with j*;/Cah]k
the mere acquisition of information. Continual practice, through guided participation, %O3 r>o=
