This article examines the scientific and theoretical foundations for integrating the legacy of prominent scientists into the development of environmental education for primary school students. It explores the pedagogical value of national scientific heritage, particularly the contributions of historical scholars such as Al-Biruni, Ibn Sina, and others whose ecological insights and nature-based philosophies can serve as a foundation for shaping environmental consciousness from an early age. The article also discusses strategies for curriculum integration, developmentally appropriate pedagogical methods, and the role of cultural identity in fostering responsible environmental behavior in young learners.
