What is the basic idea of science education in primary schools?

The basic idea of primary school science curriculum is to take inquiry as the core and to cultivate students' scientific literacy as the purpose.

1. Cultivating scientific thinking is one of the core goals of science education in primary schools. By guiding children to carry out scientific experiments and inquiry activities, let them learn to observe and find problems, and classify and explain phenomena through comparison and analysis, so as to cultivate their scientific thinking ability.

2. Improving inquiry ability is another important concept of science education in primary schools. Inquiry ability includes the ability to find, analyze and solve problems. Through personal participation and practice, science education should guide children to find problems actively, stimulate their interest in inquiry, and cultivate their ability to analyze and solve problems.

There is a close relationship and influence between science and technology and society. Through science education, help children understand the role and influence of science and technology on society, understand the development and application of science and technology, and make better use of science and technology to solve practical problems.

4. The spirit of innovation is a spirit of courage to try and keep exploring. Science education should encourage children to be bold in imagination and innovation, and let them experience the fun of creation in scientific exploration.

5. Cooperation is a social skill to cooperate with others, which is very important for children's future development. In science education, children should be encouraged to actively participate in team projects, learn to share and communicate with others, and improve their sense and ability of cooperation.

How to Cultivate Children's Scientific Thinking in Primary School Science Education

1, observation and experiment are the basis of scientific thinking. Through observation and experiment, let children personally participate in scientific inquiry and cultivate their hands-on ability and observation ability. For example, in scientific experiments, let children observe the dissolution rate of different substances in water, and let them know the factors affecting the dissolution rate through personal participation.

2. Evidence and logical reasoning are the core of scientific thinking. In science education, children should learn to collect evidence and make logical reasoning on this basis. For example, when exploring the flight time of different shapes of paper planes in the air, children can collect data through many experiments, compare and analyze them with tables and charts, and finally draw a conclusion.
