In the history of the development of science curriculum in primary schools in China, its name has changed from discipline to natural history to science to nature, common sense to natural common sense to nature to science. The development process can be roughly divided into four periods. The formation of scientific quality is long-term.
Early science education will play a decisive role in the formation of a person's scientific quality. Scientific quality generally includes: curiosity and thirst for knowledge about natural phenomena, the ability to understand oneself and the surrounding world by using basic scientific knowledge and skills, the scientific thinking and methods necessary for scientific inquiry, and the attitude towards life in harmony with nature.
Primary school science course is a comprehensive course, which can effectively integrate the most basic knowledge and skills in natural science (such as material science, biological science, earth and environmental science) and technical fields. Primary school science course is an activity course, which can present the process of scientific inquiry activities to the maximum extent in the course content.
Primary school science education, also known as primary school physics education, includes basic theories and methods such as physics and mathematics. Students need to master mathematics, physics knowledge and experimental methods of physics, understand the frontier of physics development and the overall trend of scientific development, and understand the relevant policies and regulations of the state on science and technology and intellectual property rights.
Physics education is an important part of middle school and university education all over the world. Many comprehensive universities have physics majors. Physics is the basic subject of natural science and engineering technology, and it is also a compulsory course to get a degree in science and engineering.
