The truth is that man's special gifts and achievements are inseparable from his evolutionary history. A multitude of animal species run, fly, swim and borrow around us, shaped by and locked into their environment.
The study of science can properly be applied to the laboratory study of the subject. In order to know what the facts of science are, they must be seen and handled directly on the laboratory tables. The text books and other books are not science, but literature.
The word "heuristic" is derived from the Greek word heurisco" meaning "I find out" and the "Heuristic Method" is one in which the pupils are left to find out things for themselves. Children are placed, as far as possible, in the position of discoverers and instead of being told the facts; they are led to find out things for themselves.
In this method, practically pupils learn by doing everything. The pupil should behave like a researcher and he endeavours to find answers to questions put by his teacher.
The Heuristic Method in science education is based exclusively on laboratory work, the lecture room being abolished. Lecture method tries to do away with laboratory work. But in demonstration method, both lecture room and laboratory works are taken into account.
This essay Science and Religion in a Changing World is an extract from God and the New Physics. In this essay, the author deeply examines the nature of Religion and Science.
Science and religion play undubious role in human life. Man has been instinctively religious since antiquity. Even after the discovery of Darwinism and successive scientific inventions, religion has still remained predominant.
Towards the beginning of the 20th century, Charles Darwin formulated 'Darwinism' which then followed by Lamarckism, Mendelism. Before that Galileo, Copernicus had dedicated much to the field of science.
Science and religion represent two great systems of human thought. In modern times, science has set up its landmark, has invaded into our daily life. Even so, man has been fundamentally religious. Religion is the predominant influence over the conduct of human affairs.
Science is perhaps unique as a subject in the Curriculum of Schools all over the world. This uniqueness results from the variety of materials and experiments necessary for its effective teaching. It is difficult to say exactly when Science teaching in school began.
