Introduction
Science cannot be taught in isolation. For an
effective learning full advantage must be taken on
the various correlations and applications of science.
Correlation means the relationship between
different subjects of the curriculum. It can be direct
or reciprocal. The development of mind can be
achieved when the person has got the ability to solve
difficulties or practical problems. To solve a practical
difficultycombined knowledgeof physics and other
branchesof knowledge is necessary. The child must
know the importancebetween the different branches
of knowledge. To make them know the inter
relationships, science must be taught in schools in
relation to other subjects. Then only instructions in
schools can be made efficient in solving practical
problems to be face in life situations.

Correlation Of Science And
Language
The pupils of science often have to write
essays on scientific topics on inventions and life
history of scientists and notes on their laboratory
experiments. They could be encouraged to write in
distinct lucid language. Science and language
teachers have equal responsibilities in developing
clear and accurate expressions. Science books on
natural history and biography are valuable
contributions to literature and provide excellent
reading material.

Correlation of science and
Geography
Physical geographyis based on scientific principles
so it can be correlatedwith physical sciences. Facts
of climates and seasons depend on the elementary
notions of scientific principles. Instruments like
barometer,rain gauge, sun dial, magneticneedle,
used by geographer are common to science also.

CORRELATION OF SCIENCE AND
HISTORY
It is useful to mention events in the
world history which coincidewith important
scientific discoveries, certain important discoveries
and inventionsto place in the reign of certain
famous kings who patronizedthe scientists
Eg: Archimedesand the king of Syracuse
Archimedesfound a solution to a problem .when the
king asked him to examine the purity of his crown
in his search for scientifictruth

Correlation of Science and Geology
Points common for both are different types of
are mentioned below.
Eg: 1. Different type rocks, mineralscontainedin
it.
2. Weathering, metallurgy.
3. Meteorology – Scientificstudy of the exact
measurementsof weather.
4. Water and Petroleum analysis.

Correlation of Science with Music and
Craft
In science a student get the knowledge
of resonance, vibrating systems in strings and their
columns and musical scales which is quite useful to
him to undergo a study of music. In music the
student comes across various types of instruments
and equipments which are based on the principles of
science.
Eg: Polishing articles of wood and metal,
soldering can be encouraged among the pupils.

Correlation of science with life and
environment
Modern man lives in a scientific society. Many
natural phenomena that we see in our daily life can
be explained with the help of simple scientific
principles. In every topic, there can be innumerable
local examples like ecosystem, such correlation
makes the teaching of science interesting and
realistic. Science teacher should relate the classroom
teaching with the social and physical environments
by quoting examples from the daily life of the child.
We should take the students to a factory or on
excursion while dealing with the topic concerning
these.
Eg: Water purification, Disinfectants,
Insecticides and Manures provide examples of
everyday use of science.

Conclusion
Education is only a means to an end.
All the subjects are taught to fit children into life and
held them understand and appreciate it. Hence it is
not the isolated knowledge of different subjects but
the synthesized form that would be really useful to
them. By correlation, the relation between different
subjects is better brought about than when the
subjects are separately studied. By the use of
correlation the pupil is able to organize the different
pieces of knowledge in a well ordered system.
