Medicine for a tummy ache. Mixing ingredients to make cupcakes with mum. Kicking a
soccer ball to a friend on a warm summer's day. Counting stars in the night sky while thecrescent moon looks down. Admiring the wrinkly, white silkworm spinning a silky cocoon on
a new, waxy, green, mulberry leaf. Science is eerywhere.
According to !uxley"#$%& "as cited by (shach ) *ried, +-, p. /science is nothing but
trained and organised common sense.0 Science is about the real world, and studying
science helps deelop reasoning skills "(shach ) *ried, +-, p. . Scientific knowledge
helps us make sense of the world around us and in some areas it can een help us make
predictions of future eents "!ackling, +, p. #+$. 2he study of science can help people
understand why medicine can help a tummy ache feel better, and why a ball will moe when
it is kicked. Science also helps people understand why summer days are warm or why the
shape of the moon appears to change during the month, and why it seems to always
following the same pattern. Science e3uips students with a erifiable way, by means of
obseration and experience, to answer interesting and important 3uestions about the
physical, biological and technological world around them "ACA4A, +#5. (arly exposure to
science6related actiities and learning experiences will lead to /deep reseroirs of material0
that oer time may be organised into rich scientific concepts "!ackling, +, p. &++. 7t isimportant to teach science to primary school children because by learning scientific
principles and processes children start to deelop the foundation necessary to become
scientifically literate citi8ens that are e3uipped to make sound societal decisions as well as
decipher and ealuate the different media reports, and adertising, that bombard them each
day "9eters ) Stout, +##, p. -. :nderstanding scientific literacy enables citi8ens to actiely
and accurately participate in science related debates and issues "*it8gerald, +#&, p. +,
such as global warming or eolution. ;eeloping an understanding of scientific concepts not
only helps students make sense of their world but this understanding can also help studentsmake better personal decisions such as abstaining from non6prescription drugs, drinking,
unprotected sex and unhealthy eating habits "9eters ) Stout, +##, p. -. An education that
incorporates science helps students deelop into responsible citi8ens "Abruscato, +#, p.
$.
*or primary school children thinking and doing are closely related, and their understanding of
scientific concepts is dependent on them being able to see and work things out for
themseles "!arlen, Macro, 4eed, ) Schilling, +&, p. &. 2he sad truth is that far too often
science is taught by giing students a textbook, worksheet or ideo, and telling them the
