Correlation of Science with other Subjects

Correlation of Science with other Subjects

Science is quite a complex and vast kind of subject, because of which the task of correlating it with other subjects of curriculum seems to be quite an easy task. Deliberate effort should be done by the science teacher to bring about co-relation in between the science and other subjects of the curriculum, which are being imparted to the students.

Through this, students will find the opportunity to relate the knowledge which they have already gained, with the knowledge which they are gaining. This kind of relation activity leads to development of interest among the students.

Science and Language

Although science is a practical subject, but it is very important for it's learners to be able to express their views and ideas in clear and attractive form. For this purpose, it is necessary that they should have thorough knowledge of language which they use. Student who does not have good control over the language cannot express his views and various scientific laws and principles in front of others and especially in front of teacher.

To co-relate science with language subjects, students can be asked to write essays on some scientific topic. If student make any kind of grammatical mistake, then the teacher can ask him to make correction in his language. Likewise, language teacher can give the task of writing about some scientific happening in the assignment designed for them. In this manner, he can correlate science with the language.

Science with Mathematics

Mathematics is considered to be sole language of science because of which real understanding of science is considered to be impossible without adequate knowledge of mathematics. Some of the useful mathematical concepts which are generally used in the science teaching are Algebraic equations, Geometrical formulas, Graphs etc.

Mathematical rules and theories are also applied in physics, in which no one can intend to take even single step without relying on the subject of mathematics.

Science and History

While mentioning about the various scientific discoveries taken place in the earlier periods, teacher can relate with the major events of the world history. 

Students should be told about how the evolution took place over a period of time among the organisms while explaining the lesson "evolution and classification".

Teacher should narrate the incidences which inspired various scientists to found out the medical remedies of various diseases.
