I feel teaching science is not merely teaching about

atomic structure , preparation of oxygen and

magnetic lines of force but also to teaching to think
scientifically, beyond superstitions and to search
for the solutions of problems. If a child learns about
water resources, it must know the technology and
principles, theories involved in digging a well, a bore
well construction of a dam along with the human
resources expended and the value of the sweat
spilled during those constructions. Only then it
develops the attitude of not wasting a drop of
water. Children should realise that the food in his
plate is the result of hard work and efforts of
many. They should respect these efforts and
understand the dignity of labour. When science is
taught in this way in our class rooms, it becomes
the most wonderful tool to provide social justice.
