Becoming a confident and informed teacher of primary science requires a strong understanding of key practical, conceptual and pedagogical issues that underpin best practice science teaching in the primary school. Addressing current curriculum concerns, the dynamic nature of the curriculum landscape, and the wider challenges of developing good practice in science education, Primary Science provides an indispensable overview of important areas of teaching that every aspiring primary school teacher needs to understand.
Written directly for initial teacher education students, this textbook supports classroom practice and provides a broad survey of key aspects of primary science teaching including: the role of science in the curriculum, communication and literacy in science teaching, science outside the classroom, teaching science to all, transitional issues and assessment.
Essential reading for all students studying primary science on primary initial teacher education courses, including undergraduate, postgraduate, and employment-based routes into teaching, it will also support the continuing professional development of early career teachers.
