Researchers have long believed that science affects the way children in their earlier developmental stages understand the natural environment, and therefore children have received science education when still in lower grades. This subject of science was first defined and included in the Elementary School Ordinance promulgated in 1886. It has come to be called the "science for lower grades" and the subject has been taught for more than 100 hundred years in the Department of Life and Environmental Studies. In this paper, I examined and analyzed the process of setting up "observation of nature" as a subject taught to children, focusing on the period from the World War I era to the time of the New Education Movement. Through this study, I came to understand that originally, the philosophy of 18th century modern education based the foundation of "science for lower grades" on cultivating children's ability to "observe nature." Numerous attempts were then made in theory and practice to fine-tune the subject and make it appropriate for children of the target age. Those attempts were made based on research done during the movement to reform scientific education that took place after the World War I.
