As a seven-year-old child, I experienced war in Cyprus. Armed conflict has not been far from my conscience ever since. At a time when there are active conflicts in many parts of the world, war is unlikely to be far from many children’s minds globally today. Can a “war” theme be included in science lessons and play a role in helping young children develop into socially responsible scientists and peaceful citizens?

战争：科学课上并非不可能出现的话题

作为一个七岁的孩子，我在塞浦路斯经历了战争。从那时起，武装冲突就离我的良心不远了。在世界许多地区发生激烈冲突之际，当今全球许多儿童的脑海中不太可能远离战争。 “战争”主题能否纳入科学课程，并在帮助幼儿成长为有社会责任感的科学家和和平公民方面发挥作用？
