Synopsis

A secure knowledge of primary science is essential for the trainee teacher. Clear subject knowledge and understanding is the foundation of confident, creative, and effective teaching.

The text is structured around the current UK curriculum and incorporates the Primary National Strategy. All content is linked to the 2007 Qualified Teacher Status Standards and new links are made to the Early Years Foundation Stage.
