CORRELATION OF SCIENCE WITH OTHER SUBJECTS

Correlation between Science and History:

While teaching about the various scientific discoveries which had occurred in the earlier periods, teacher can relate the content with history.  Teacher should narrate to the students the incidences which inspired various scientists to found out the medical remedies of various diseases.

EXAMPLE

USES OF MICROORGANISMS

·       How Louis Pasteur discovered fermentation

·       How Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin

·       How Edward Jenner discovered the vaccine for small pox

Such content can be explained to the students by relating it to the history that can increase the interest of the students.

Correlation between Science and environment

Science content should create the awareness among pupil about the environmental problems and should develop a feeling of global responsibility. We should give
 examples of how to incorporate environmental concerns into basic science to achieve an awareness of the impact of science on environment.

EXAMPLE

MANURE AND FERTILISERS

While teaching this content we can lay emphasis on how use of manure can be advantageous and how it can be environment friendly.

Correlation between Science and Mathematics

 Mathematics is considered to be sole language of science because of which real understanding of science is considered to be impossible without adequate knowledge of mathematics. Some of the useful mathematical tools which are generally used in the science teaching are Algebraic equations, Geometrical formulas, Graphs etc.

EXAMPLE

SPEED

While teaching speed it is necessary for students to know about certain basic rules of mathematics to be applied for example in measuring speed, conversion of km/h to m/s, etc.

Correlation of Science with Geography

In science, we could various concepts relating to the atmosphere and earth. Temperature, wind directions and measurement of rainfall, study about planets, stars, etc. are conducted in the subject of science that is related to geography.

EXAMPLE

CLIMATE AND ADAPTATION

While teaching about the climate and adaptation the content could be linked to the geographical aspect by teaching about different regions like polar region, tropical rainforests, etc.
