This article analyzes the educational and pedagogical potential of natural sciences in forming a conscious attitude toward nature among primary school students. Through the content of natural science subjects, the issues of developing environmental awareness, responsible behavior toward the environment, and ecological culture are examined. The effectiveness of practical activities, observations, experiments, excursions, and interdisciplinary integration in fostering environmental responsibility in young learners is highlighted. The study emphasizes that environmental education at the primary level plays a crucial role in shaping environmentally responsible and socially active individuals.
