DESCRIPTION:
The Teaching of Science in Primary Schools provides essential
information for all concerned with primary school education about all aspects
of teaching science. It pays particular attention to inquiry-based teaching and
learning because of the more general educational benefits that follow from
using this approach. These benefits are often expressed in terms of developing
general scientific literacy and fostering the ability to learn and the
motivation to continue learning. This book also aims to help teachers focus on
the ‘big’ or powerful ideas of science rather than teaching a series of
unrelated facts. This leads children to an understanding of the nature, and
limitations, of scientific activity.
