INTRODUCTION
An understanding of science makes it possible for everyone to share in the richness and excitement of comprehending the natural world. Scientific literacy enables people to use scientific principles and processes in making personal decisions and to participate in discussions of scientific issues that affect society. A sound grounding in science strengthens many of the skills that people use everyday, like solving problems creatively, thinking critically, working cooperatively in teams, using technology effectively and valuing lifelong learning.
Over the course of human history, people have developed many interconnected, validated ideas about physical, biological, psychological and social worlds. These ideas have enabled successive generation to achieve an increasingly comprehensive and reliable understanding of the human species and its environment. The means of used to develop these ideas are particular ways of observing, thinking, experimenting and validating. These reflects science tends to differ from other modes of knowing.
It is the union of science, mathematics and technology that forms the scientific endeavor and that makes it so successful. Although each of these human enterprises has a character and history of its own, each is dependent and reinforces to others.

CORRELATION
The concept of correlation.
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. Through learning of science, problem solving ability of mind is developed. To solve a problem combined knowledge of physics and other branches of knowledge is necessary. Therefore physical science must be taught in correlation with other subjects. The students should be made to realise how the different subjects in school curriculum are mutually supplementary.
Mainly correlation is of two types :
i) Incidental correlation
ii) Systematic correlation
Incidental correlation
It is natural correlation. Correlation is secured by coordinating each topic with allied materials from other subjects. This would mean a board treatment of the subject that brings about points of similarities between science and other related subjects.
The success of incidental correlation depends on ;
i) wide knowledge
ii)versatility of the science teacher
Eg:- A chemistry teacher while teaching about oxygen, teacher says about hemoglobin, carrier of oxygen and mountaineers use oxygen carriers.
Systematic correlation
This is achieved by a careful organization of the curriculum in different subjects avoiding unnecessary duplication of the subject matter and at the same time developing related topics from different subjects. Systematic correlation can be effective only when the teachers of different subjects co-operate and co-ordinate their work. This is achieved by the careful planning of the curriculum.

Correlation of physical science with other subjects
1. Correlation of science and mathematics.
Mathematics is probably the sole language of science and therefore a real understanding of science is impossible without adequate knowledge of mathematics. Algebraic equations, graph, geometry, co-ordinate geometry, calculus, simple statistics are some of the useful tools of science.
Eg :- Knowledge of trigonometrical ratios is very helpful in
mechanics and light.
Kinetic theory of gases needs the knowledge of co-
ordinate geometry.
Even simple measurements of area and space require the knowledge of mathematics.
2. Correlation of science and biology
The study of natural science such as zoology, botony and physiology owe to physical and chemistry to explain some common phenomena.
Eg :- Respiration in plants, photosynthesis are explained
by chemistry
Digestion of food can be explained by chemistry.
Knowledge of peste that destroy plants and selection of pesticides include chemistry.
(3)
3. Correlation of science and language
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. They could be encouraged to write in distinct, lucid language. Science and language teachers have equal responsibilities in developing clear and accurate expression. After a field trip or visit to a place of scientific interest, pupils should be asked to write essays and reports of their experience. Passages from original and historical scientific works may be given for translation. Science books on natural history and biography are valuable contributions to literature and provide excellent reading materials.
4. 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 priniciples.
Eg :- Instruments like barometer, seismograph,thermometer,
rain guauge etc used by geographer are common to
science also.
Lessons on tides, snow and ice, minerals and ores are
nothing but scientific.
Rotation of planets, their influence on climate, change
seasons, action of volcanoes, earth quakes are best
understood when geography is studied with the aids
physics and chemistry.
(4)
5. Correlation of science and history
It is useful to mention events in the world history which coincide with important scientiifc discoveries. Certain important discoveries and inventions took place in the reign of certain famous kings who patronized the scientist.
Eg :- 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'.
Archimedes and the king of Syracuse. Archimedes
found a solution to a problem, when the king
asked him to examine the purity of his crown.
Archimedes got the royal patronage in his search
for scientific truth.
6. Correlation of science and earth science ( Geology)
Points common for both are mentioned below:
Eg :- Different type rocks, minerals contained in it.
Water and petroleum analysis.
Weathering, metallurgy.
(5)
7. 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.
8. 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.
(6)
9. Correlation of science and life and environment
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.
Eg :- Photography (use of camera) and cinema. The
teacher should refer to these while teaching principles
of image formation. Spectacles are also easily
available examples to take immediate reference to
the application of scientific principles.
Water purification, disinfectants, insecticides and
manures provide examples of everyday use of
science.
(7)
Advantages
1) By correlation, the relation between different subjects is better
brought about than when subjects are seperately studied.
2) It promotes understanding, memory and interest.
3) By use of correlation the pupil is able to organize the different
pieces of knowledge into a well ordered system.
4) This help to break down the prevalent habit of mind which
assumes the storage of knowledge in seperate compartments.
(8)
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.
