This fully updated fourth edition of the bestselling textbook Science 5-11 provides a comprehensive introduction to current research and professional practice for teaching science in the primary school.

Chapters are organised into five sections, first introducing theory and practice, then providing specific guidance on teaching topics in biology, chemistry and physics, and finally discussing supporting science across the whole school. Updates to the new edition include:

Responding to recent changes in the Initial Teacher Education framework, discussion about cognitive science is integrated more fully throughout.
Supporting all children's engagement in science by suggesting inclusive and creative ways of building and consolidating knowledge including making connections between topics and with the wider world.
New discussion on planning to support pupil progression in scientific knowledge throughout their time at primary school, building on Early Years and preparing for transition to secondary school.

Presenting current research and outlining guidance on best practice, Science 5-11 provides a guide to the subject knowledge, curriculum requirements and pedagogical techniques to successfully teach science within the primary school.
