Abstract
The National Curriculum Framework (NCF)
2005 states that “one important human
response to the wonder and awe of nature
from the earliest times has been to observe
the physical and biological environment
carefully, look for any meaningful patterns and
relations, make and use new tools to interact with
nature, and build conceptual models to understand the
world. This human endeavor has led to modern science.” “Science Education” is the theme of this issue. Obviously, it is a theme where we need to
cover a range of topics from 'why teach science' to 'how to make science fun for children' to 'how to
encourage children to take up higher education in science' and 'how critical it is that we have a strong stream of
scientists emerging from our education system'. The only way we could have attempted this was by inviting a
number of practicing scientists, professors, school teachers and innovators to contribute their thoughts. Each of
these eminent persons has most willingly contributed to the issue. We are greatly indebted to them.
