In this study, we analyze the educational significance of "animal (human) birth", by tracing the changes of contents in the unit "animal (human) birth" in elementary school science textbooks, and asking children in fifth and sixth grades some items on "human birth". The results of the study are as follows: The unit "animal (human) birth" was introduced for fifth grade in the textbooks published in 1992, which were based on the Course of Study revised in 1989, and where the children learned "Humans grow inside the mother until they are born". Half of the children answered "Yes" to the item "Do you want to bring up children?" The reason that most of them gave was "Because I like children". Some children gave other reasons; some boys answered "Because I want to leave my descendant", and some of girls answered "Because I want to take care of my baby", indicating that boys and girls have different ideas. However, these reasons were related to "continuity of life." Another item was "How did you find out that the person had a baby by fertilization?"; here, half of the children answered that they had gained the knowledge in fifth grade science class or from the science textbook. These results indicate that this unit is an important teaching material to help children form the scientific concept of "animal birth" and foster respect for life.
