Quote:
PUPILS at GCSE are to be allowed to abandon learning traditional †œhard⠃¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚ science, including the meaning of the periodic table, in favour of †œsoft⠃¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚ science such as the benefits of genetic engineering and healthy eating.
The statutory requirement for pupils to learn a science subject will be watered down under a new curriculum introduced next year. There will be no compulsion to master the periodic table ††the basis of chemistry ††nor basic scientific laws that have informed the work of all the great scientists such as Newton and Einstein.
