Synopsis

Learning in primary science is most effective when children can interpret their own experience and investigations in scientific terms. This book provides the background knowledge which teachers need in order to plan effective programs of work and answer children′s questions with confidence.

Each chapter is divided into sections, which are linked by extensive cross-referencing for easy use as a resource and reference. As a work of reference used to answer specific questions and clarify ideas, or as a resource for planning an effective primary science program, this is an essential book for primary teachers.
