The article presents comments to the article "Elementary Science for a Changing World." In contrast to the previous article's concept about science talent, the author has argued that a science-talented child is a child who has received sufficient satisfaction from a certain kind of activity to participate in it more frequently and with more intensity than do most of the children in the same age group. Otherwise stated, he claimed that the provision of resources and direction of action are facilitated by the teacher, but the climax however is reached by the formation of a concept image as a result of the group dynamics. His emphasis on the role of parents in the child's acquisition of scientific knowledge concludes the article.
