- Authors
Curtis, Francis D.
- Abstract
The article discusses the importance and scope of elementary science education during wartime, such as the current World War II. These days, the attention of countries who are engaged in the war is primarily focused upon science. The purpose behind this is to apply scientific knowledge effectively in formulating war strategies. There is, suggestively, a need to provide definite scientific training to children as well as adults in order to enable them to make definite practical contributions to the total war effort on which survival depends. The need for science education is also related with the important issue of safety from wartime hazards. People must be aware of health-related risk factors and various preventive health measures. All these and other aspects of science are required to be taught, starting from elementary schools.
