I remember that years ago, Prof.Harry Messel and his team of scientists used to conduct the "Summer School of Science" which was televised by Channel 9. It was as part of this popularising of science that the topic of "General Science" was discussed - the attempt to integrate the various sciences into one. This matter has recently been raised in education - What are the prerequisites for university: physics and/or chemistry; with biology and psychology, etc.? Perhaps it is time to re-visit the "integration of science" concept? Maybe use of the old term "natural philosophy" might be a good starting point? What are the fundamentals of science, and is there a heirarchy of concepts? What distinction is needed re primary versus secondary education? ===============================================
