Bruce, G. V.
- Abstract
The article discusses the relevance and importance of teaching natural sciences as a subject in elementary schools and provides several references about the subject. It has been found that elementary school curriculum lays more emphasis on social studies. Children are taught histories and geographies of various regions and countries, while these things are not much relevant for them in that age. Natural sciences, on the other hand, is ignored. No attempt is made to explain the nature and meaning of animate and inanimate things that children find in their immediate natural environment. There is a need to revise the curricular and extracurricular activities to give proper weight to natural science. The article presents information on various books about natural sciences that have been categorized under different headings in an annotated bibliography prepared by the author.
