The document discusses the correlation between physical science and other subjects like biology and math. It defines incidental correlation as coordinating topics with allied material from other subjects, relying on the teacher's knowledge. Systematic correlation carefully organizes the curriculum between subjects. Examples are given of correlating physical sciences with biology topics like the eye, echolocation, and photosynthesis. Science also correlates with other subjects like math through equations, geography through climate and distributions, and history through scientific discoveries. The conclusion states that correlation helps students obtain a coherent understanding of science by linking different areas of knowledge.

2. Introduction
One of the important aims of the educative process is to achieve a
unification of knowledge pertaining to the various branches of learning. Students
are interested to learn things which are relevant to their lie experiences. They
cannot continue to learn Science in isolation as compartmentalized disciplines that
have little relation to each other. Hence ideally, integrated knowledge has to be
taught in schools instead of teaching isolated and narrowly specified subjects. Even
when we adop the disciplinary approach o teaching the message of integration of
the subjects can be attained by following an interdisciplinary approach by which
the various disciplines are meaningfully correlated.
The concept of correlation is not at all new in the field of education.
Comenius emphasized the importance of correlation in teaching. He was of the
opinion that nothing could be taught in isolation. Herbert also advocated
interdisciplinary approach of teaching. Pupils should get the impression that each
subject supplements and complements others.
Data
In the Basic education Scheme correlation with various branches of knowledge
as well as with life occupies a pivotal position and it is not the crat that makes the
school Basic .But its correlation with various branches o knowledge as well as with
life that makes it really Basic. Correlation or inter-disciplinary approach o science
can be explained under three heads.
i. Correlation o science subjects with one another
ii. Correlation of science with other school subjects

3. iii. Correlation of science with the social, physical environments
Correlation of science may be either incidental or systematic.
Incidental correlation is secured by co-ordinating each topic with allied material
from other subjects. The success of each correlation depends on the wide
knowledge and versatility o the teacher. Systematic correlation is achieved
through a careful purposeful organization of the curriculum in different
subjects.
Correlation of science subjects with one another
All the branches o science are interdependent upon each other and
there are a number of facts and principles which are common to various science
subjects. Biophysics, Bio chemistry, Soil chemistry, Physical chemistry are
examples of such relations.
Physical Sciences are easily co-related with Biology
Examples:-Teaching of Eye : Camera, Convex lense
Echolocation in bat : Radar
Respiration : Oxidation
Digestion : Hydrolysis, Catalyst
Photosynthesis : Reduction, Electronic transfer
Protoplasm : Organic and inorganic compounds
Transpiration : Evaporation
Correlation o Science with other school subjects
Science is such a subject which can be correlated with other subjects.
This will arouse interest in the pupils who associate the knowledge with the
knowledge they have already acquired in other subjects.

4. i. Science with mathematics
Science is probably incomplete without mathematics. Mathematics
has given a sound footing to scientific laws. For the correct understanding of
science the knowledge of mathematics is essential.
Examples:- gas laws : proposition, equations, inverse ratio
Genetics : ratio
Mechanics, light : trigonometric ratio
ii. Science with Geography
The study about soil, climate, distribution of plants and
animals etc bring the two subjects together. Topics like pressure,
temperature, humidity, minerals, climate factors and living things are
common to science and geography. The distribution of plants and animals,
rise and fall of population.
iii. Science with History
The history of plants and animals, history of scientific inventions and
discoveries, technological development and industrial revolution etc are some of
the areas in science that can be correlated with history.
iv. Science and Craft
Agriculture, wood work, metal work, card board modeling, clay work,
apparatus and equipments can be well correlated with craft.
Correlation of Science with the Social and Physical Environments

5. We are living in an age of science and all our activities are controlled
by science. Everything, around us is directly or indirectly related to science in one
way or the other. It has changed the whole pattern of society and has affected the
social as well as the physical environment. The understanding of these changed
environments is possible only through the knowledge of science. So the science
teacher should relate class room teaching with the social and physical
environments by citing examples from the daily life of the child.
To put it briefly, by correlation among different subjects is better
brought out than when the subjects are separately studied. By correlation, the child
is able to appreciate and organize different piece of knowledge into a well ordered
system.
Conclusion
Correlation, implies the reciprocal relationship among various
subjects in the curriculum. This approach helps pupils obtain a coherent view of
science by establishing numerous links between the various branches of
knowledge. To put it briefly by correlation, the relation among different subjects is
before brought out than when the subjects are separately studied. By correlation,
the child is able to appreciate and organize different piece of knowledge into a
well ordered system.
