Interdisciplinary studies, under the rubric of Cosmic Education, are used to tie together zoological, botanical, geological and cultural studies and help children orient themselves in the universe, historically and taxonomically. The course stresses the “interdependence” of seemingly unrelated processes, thus revealing the underlying links within the physical, biological and cultural character of our world.
