All you need to know about the theory and practice of teaching primary science.

If you are training to be a primary school teacher, a knowledge of the primary science curriculum is not enough, you need to know HOW to teach science in primary schools.

This is the essential teaching theory and practice text for primary science. It takes a focused look at the practical aspects of teaching and covers the important skills of classroom management, planning, monitoring and assessment, and relates them specifically to primary science.

This new edition now includes a new chapter on creative curriculum approaches.

Über Autor(innen)

Simon, Shirley
Shirley Simon is Lecturer in the School of Education at King's College, London.

Smith, Robin James
I was appointed Lecturer in Sociology in 2012. I am currently PhD Programme Co-ordinator and convenor of three undergraduate modules. My research and teaching is concerned with the everyday life of urban public spaces. I am interested in, and encourage students to take an interest in, both the street-level politics of city life and the mundane accomplishment of mobility practices and interaction. These themes have been addressed through research on everyday sense-making in regenerated space, practices of street-based welfare and vulnerable urban groups and, most recently, an investigation of co-operative mobility practices. I also have an abiding interest in social science methodology as a topic of inquiry.
