NOBLE VALUES AND SCIENTIFIC
ATTITUDES
Noble values and scientific attitudes can be
inculcated through the learning of science.
Through science activities children will
develop an interest and curiosity about
their surroundings. They will learn to be
objective and systematic in carrying out
investigations. Children also learn to be
honest and accurate in record data. They
develop concern for living things and an
awareness of their responsibility towards
the environment.
