The document discusses the concept of correlation in education. It defines correlation as the relationship between different subjects of the curriculum. Correlation involves consciously showing the similarities and dependencies between subjects. This helps students perceive knowledge as a whole and improves retention. The document then provides examples of correlating science within itself, with other school subjects like maths and geography, and with life and the environment. Correlating subjects provides benefits like motivation, integrating knowledge, and developing life skills.

1. Correlation

2. “No subject is ever well understood and
no art is intelligently practiced, if the
light which the other studies are able to
throw upon it is deliberately shut out.”
-RAYMONT

3.  Education is a coordinated process and the
major aim of education is the unification of
knowledge.
 Science cannot be taught in isolation.
 To solve a practical difficulty combined
knowledge of physics and other branches of
knowledge is necessary.
 The child must know the importance
between different branches of knowledge.
 Hence teaching of various subject is
correlated.

4. CORRELATION
4
Correlation means the relationship between different
subjects of the curriculum.
The term ‘correlation’ in its simplest form means ‘connect
or to be connected’.
It can be direct or reciprocal.
It is the conscious effort made by the teachers teaching
various subjects to show similarities or dependence of
one subject on another.

5. Uses of Correlation are as follows
1. Mind perceives knowledge as a
whole.
2. Retention of knowledge.
3. All round development
4. It makes the lesson easy and clear
5. Develops various human and social
qualities such as co-operation,
citizenship etc.
6. It strengthens skills.

CORRELATION OF SCIENCE WITHIN THE SUBJECT
 All the branches of science are interdependent upon
each other & a no: of facts and principles which are
common to various science subjects.
 As a result , new subjects like Physical chemistry,Bio-
Physics,Bio-Chemistry,Soil Chemistry , Electrochemisry
, Geo- Physics have been introduced.
 Physics provides instruments for the study of almost all
other science subjects , thus correlating many principles
of physics with other science subjects.
 Subject like ‘atom’, ‘heat of a chemical reaction’,
‘Electrolysis’, are of equal importance to a Physicist and
Chemist

OTHER SCHOOL SUBJECTS

10. Correlation of science with other subjects can be of two types
Systematic Correlation
• It is achieved by a careful
organization of curriculum in
different subjects
• It can be effective only when the
teachers of different subjects co-
operate and co-ordinate their
work.
10
Incidental Correlation
 Natural correlation.
 It means a broad treatment of
the subject that brings about
points of similarities between
science and other related
subjects.
 Success of incidental
correlation depends on ‘wide
knowledge and versatility of
the science teacher’ .

 Science is a body of knowledge about the Universe.
 Mathematics is a language that can describe relationships and change in
relationships in a rational way.
 Science generally uses mathematics as a tool to describe science.
 In fact all scientific equations are expressed into some form of mathematical
equations.
 A few scientists like Galileo and Albert Einstein believe that the laws of the
Universe are mathematical .
CORRELATION OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS

12. CORRELATION OF SCIENCE AND
BIOLOGY
• Biology constitutes the
relation with every aspect of
human and everyday
science.
• The study of biology needs
experiences almost all the
branches of science
including chemistry, physics,
geology etc

13. CORRELATION OF SCIENCE AND LANGUAGE
13
• The pupils of science have to write often essays on
scientific topics on inventions and life history of scientists
and notes on their laboratory experiments.
• Science and language teachers have equal responsibilities
in developing clear and accurate expression.
• They could be encouraged to write in distinct, lucid
language.
• Science books on natural history and biography are
valuable contributions to literature and provide excellent
reading materials.

14. CORRELATION OF SCIENCE AND GEOGRAPHY
• Geography is based on
scientific principles so it
can be correlated with
physical sciences.
• Facts of climates and
seasons depends on the
elementary notions of
scientific principles.

15. 15
Correlation of science and history
• It is useful to mention events in the
world history which coincide with
important scientific discoveries.
• Certain important discoveries and
inventions took place in the reign
of certain famous kings who
patronized the scientist.
• Correlation with science and
history is very prominent on topics
like the 'story of moon', 'story of
earth', story of man' and 'story of
planets'.

CORRELATION OF SCIENCE AND EARTH SCIENCE
Points common for both are mentioned
below:
Eg :- Different type rocks, minerals contained
in it.
Water and petroleum analysis.
Weathering, metallurgy.

Correlation of science and drawing (Art and craft)
Science offers a vast scope for activities connected with art and craft.
Eg :- Model making, painting, drawing etc can be
encouraged in the course of teaching science.
Drawing of charts, diagrams and pictures
related to science.

18. Correlation of science and music
In science, a student get the knowledge
of resonance, vibrating systems in string
and air 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 the science.

19. CORRELATION OF SCIENCE WITH
LIFE AND ENVIRONMENT

20. Correlationof sciencewithlifeandenvironment
Modern man lives in a scientific
society. Many natural
phenomenon 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.

21.  Motivation
 Integration of knowledge
 Widening mental horizon
 Practice
 Correlation with life
 Transfer of training
 Economy of effort
ADVANTAGES OF CORRELATION

22. CONCLUSION
Science is a blend of logic and imagination.
The process of formulating and testing hypothesis is one
of the core activities of scientists. The use of logic and
cross examination of evidence are necessary for the
advancement of science. Not only in science, in daily life
also we are facing many problematic situations. For
dealing with such problems, we need vast knowledge
about other subjects also. So it is necessary to correlate
the physical science with other subjects and students
must understand the importance of correlation.
