Children live in a world in which science has tremendous importance. During =LR UasF
their lifetimes it will affect them more and more. In time, many of them will work at (\ j<`"n
jobs that depend heavily on science --- for example, concerning energy sources, jVDNTh m+
pollution control, highway safety, wilderness conservation, and population growth, E]
[DVY
and population growth. As taxpayers they will pay for scientific research and wP%; 9y2B
exploration. And, as consumers, they will be bombarded (受到轰击) by advertising, x K/`XY
much of which is said to be based on science. 2.6,c$2tB
Therefore, it is important that children, the citizens of the future, become x\*5A,w{c]
functionally acquainted with science---- with the process and spirit of science, as well rP'oU V_
as with its facts and principles. Fortunately, science has a natural appeal for z"<PveVo
youngsters. They can relate it to so many things that they encounter ---- flashlights, 8]O|$8'"
tools, echoes, and rainbows. z, OMR`W
Besides, science is an excellent medium for teaching far more than content. It >,DR{A2hSB
can help pupils learn to think logically, to organize and analyse ideas. It can provide [-l^,,E
practice in communication skills and mathematics. In fact, there is no area of the :!%oQ QO
curriculum to which science cannot contribute, whether it be geography, history, R{T4AZ@,'
language arts, music, or art! _2|,j\f;L
Above all, good science teaching leads to what might be called a “scientific CTwP{[%Pk
attitude.” Those who possess it seek answers through observing, experimenting, and HjK|9
reasoning, rather than blindly accepting the pronouncements of others. They weigh O&}0 7(
evidence carefully and reach conclusions with caution. While respecting the opinions 2uB .0
of others, they expect honesty, accuracy, and objectivity and are on guard against 6)W9/V-W
hasty judgments and sweeping generalizations. All children should be developing this L9x,G!
approach to solving problems, but it cannot be expected to appear automatically with 0Vg8o @
the mere acquisition of information. Continual practice, through guided participation, "$WZd
is needed. (293 words) }>grGr%oR
