Teaching Primary Science

This fully updated third edition of Teaching Primary Science brings subject knowledge and pedagogy together to support, inform and inspire those training to teach primary science. Written in a clear and accessible style, chapters offer comprehensive coverage of key themes, as well as structured ideas for practice and progression. With brand new sections such as rocks and fossils, and pulleys and levers, and with an increased emphasis on assessment guidance, talking skills and scientific discussion, the book crucially demonstrates how science can offer children pleasure and intellectual satisfaction, fostering their natural curiosity and helping them to develop sound scientific minds.
