Where this comes from

Abstract

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?
