| Abstract: | It is nearly ten years since Science Education was formally recognised as one of five principal aims of the National Minimum Curriculum at Primary Level (1988). However, despite the backing provided by the education department, science has retained the secondary role it had before, often being sacrificed for the sake of the other examinable subjects. Why is it important to do science at primary level? What educational goals can be achieved? Children should not do Science at Primary level only for the sake of covering concepts and content, but it serve as a means of promoting the development of skills and attitudes not necessarily specific to science. |
