An’ why? Because ..... Because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that’s why.” As the novel comes to an end so does this relationship when it is broken as George shoots Lennie in the back of the head to prevent him from being tortured and captured.
‘From the moment of birth, or even from the moment of conception, children are developing scientific ideas about the world around them. These ideas occur as a result of experiences and exploration. The more exploratory experiences children have, the greater their scientific development is likely to be.’(Johnston 1996) Early Explorations in Science, Open University Press 1996 The National Curriculum for science aims to ensure that all pupils ‘develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them’. Scientific enquiry is the experimental work involved in the teaching of science. Being taught scientific enquiry skills lets pupils raise questions about the observations on the world and gives them the skills to test out the theory behind what they see.
