Primary Science - Making It Work (Paperback, Revised)

Combining workable classroom practice with understanding of the ways children learn, this text offers a guide to the teaching of science. The approach is learning-centred, holistic and rational, and the book offers reassurance and realistic advice for those teachers who did not specialise in science, and who may be worried about their lack of experience in Science National Curriculum territory. This second edition reflects the different context of science education and the needs of teachers in the 90s. The post-Dearing National Curriculum, assessment, planning and professional development are also covered.
