"As Michael Allen points out, old misconceptions seldom die while new ones are conceived daily. He has made an excellent job of refreshing this fourth edition... It is so much more than a collection of fascinating conceptual 'butterflies', it is a carefully detailed window onto some of children's science-based thinking."
Mike Watts, Professor of Education, Brunel University, UK
"Misconceptions in Primary Science is a comprehensive account of how children learn science and the common misconceptions they may have. It is a detailed and helpful book that all primary teachers should consult before teaching any aspect of science."
