Science has been tackled to
the elementary school cur

thought. Specific science

schools were designed as
college preparation. AS the

The things forced down.
ward have been, by common
consent, the simpler con-
cepts: Magnetism, simple
mechanics, plants and ami
mails, etc. This is perfectly
reasonable and, in most cases,
has led to good results.
Pupils are interested and
learn a great deal. 3
Recent research, however,
points to ways in which we
might get even better re-
suits. Properly presented,
many concepts in electricity,
magnetism, the solar sys-
tenn and even the structure
and nature of atoms and
molecules can be understood
by 6 and 7-year-old young
sterS.
The difficulty is with the
presentation of the concepts.
Incorrectly done it may be
more confusing than educa-
tional. Properly handled, it
can stimulate and encourage
the scientific spark" and
keep it burning all the way
through college.
What does it take?
First we need a plan for
teaching science-one that
places science in a logical
sequence from kindergarten
through high school. One
that introduces each concept
in a way and at a point
where it will best succeed.
1t also requires teachers
who are trained to do this
specialized job. If we de-
velop a continuing science
program we may even need
special science teachers in
elementary grades, at least
until our regular classroom

There's a revolution brew
ing in our elementary
schools! Children are bub-
bling with interest in science
and their questions are
"bugging' their teachers.
Today's children know
facts that were only dreams
when we went to school.
Their world is full of rocket
ships. Jet aircraft. guided
missiles and satellites. They
know more about them
than you might think.
Children have a vast
ability to soak up informa-
ton, especially when they
are fascinated with a SUBJ
ject. They gather surpris-
ing bits of knowledge from
toys, books. pictures, comic
strips. newspapers, televi-
sion and just asking ques-
tions. Before long they have
accumulated an impressive
store of facts.
Questions Battling
Every parent knows that
very young children can ask
dazzling questions. especially
about science. Many parents
find them hard to answer.
So do teachers!
But we had better answer
them if we are to stimulate
enough young scientists to
match the Russians in this
field.
There are good reasons
why children are fascinated
by science and learn a great
deal about it. For one thing,

II nothing else, the male

There's no sense in suffering
needlessly. Although you
have no stones, chances are
that your gall bladder is
diseased. You may have
stones even though they

bile often causes as much
discomfort as stones.
I can recall many patients
with non-functioning gall

whose symptoms disappeared
