The needs of the society, the position of the scientific knowledge and the peculiarities of the development of children who study science and primary factors which determine the content and method of science teaching. The curriculum framers should attempt to harmonize and coordinate these factors in such a way that all these are equally realized as there is a possibility of one conflicting with the other.

It is important that stress on one factor should not hamper the fulfillment of the other, for example, the need of the society should not be over- stressed to hamper with the development of children.
