      - Teaches kids about the world around them.
      - To be curious, explore and ask questions.
      - Sparks in kids' minds that they, too, can help solve the world's big problems.
- - - - "It can teach children to form their own opinions, rather than taking those of others for granted."-Camille Thomson
      - Motivation is a great key in science education to provide a spring board for students to be inspired and to immerse themselves in the content.
      - Teachers need to become confident in what they need to teach in order to establish an exciting atmosphere for the students to experience science as though they were scientists discovering the world.
      - "With the older children we need more hands-on and minds-on type of science, particularly with chemistry and physics. But we can’t lose sight of biology – that’s also a critical part of science"(The Conversation)
    - - “Students will become more effective citizens by being able to locate, analyse and critique information to form their own opinions rather than being able to provide the atomic number of an element such as lead” (p. iii).
      - "It helps kids to think about what could happen before they do it, to create a hypothesis in their mind. Then kids learn that not everything works the first time. Some experiments fall in a heap and you have to find out what went wrong, and try again"(schoolatoz). -Kevin Squires

      - Science taught in primary schools is so significant for students to foster a love for the subject. This allows them to grow in confidence in scientific studies from a young age. "Teaching science to younger students helps instill a love for science, and it can counter the effects of students losing interest in science during the middle school years"(Reference.com)
