Scientific literacy refers to understanding the necessary scientific knowledge, basic scientific research process and methods, and the influence of science and technology on society and individuals, and having the ability to use scientific knowledge and technology to deal with practical problems and participate in public affairs. Today, science and technology have a far-reaching impact on our lives.

It is imperative to improve the scientific literacy of the whole people.

Primary school science curriculum aims at cultivating primary school students' scientific literacy and undertakes the responsibility of laying a good foundation for their continuous learning and lifelong development. Moreover, a person's early hobbies are often his lifelong interests. Perhaps because of various reasons, we can't make any achievements in this respect, but we will show certain advantages in these aspects when we grow up. Therefore, the scientific literacy cultivated in the early stage and the established attitude and values towards science will play a decisive role in the development of a person's life.

Edison, an American electrician and inventor, was very curious since he was a child and often "made mischief". When she was expelled from school, her mother gave Edison the greatest tolerance.
