The purpose of this study was to review the cognitive functions of two cerebral hemispheres and its implications for elementary school science education, The right and left-hemisphere of cerebrum have somewhat different functions. The left brain functions, such as analytical, logical, verbal, sequential, and linear information processing are overemphasize in our school system. But the right-brain functions-holistic, spontaneous, intuitive, imagery, and visuo-spatial information processing-is nearly ignored. We propose the teaching methods to stimulate right-brain and whole brain to rear whole child development.
