Moreover,learning science also makes students think out of box. Thus, it helps students to find more than one solution to one problem. So, making students create is also one of the scientific benefits.

4There is a great importance of science in educating children. Science encourages students to learn about various things around them.This increases their interest in knowing more about scientific methods, and laws, and experimenting with them. Overall, science helps them to gain knowledge about the world, animals, human beings, and many more things.

5Science is all about its disciplines. Its subject matters, areas of study, etc. all fall under the disciplines of science.Learning science and its disciplinary things helps students understand and respect other methods of study, behavior, guidelines, or discipline procedures better.They can relate these disciplines to that of science and develop an inclination (傾向) to abide by the rules and regulations. Thus, learning science helps students understand the importance of disciplines.
