The Teaching of Science in Primary Schools

Description:

Now in a fully updated seventh edition, The Teaching of Science in Primary Schools provides essential information for students, trainee, and practising teachers about the why, what and how of teaching primary science. Paying particular attention to inquiry-based teaching and learning, the book recognises the challenges of teaching science, and provides suggestions and examples aimed to increase teachers’ confidence and pupils‘ enjoyment of the subject.

This new edition explores:

    • Changes in curriculum and assessment requirements in the UK

    • Advances in knowledge of how children learn

    • Expansion in the use of ICT by teachers and children

    And expands on key aspects of teaching including:

      • The compelling reasons for starting science in the primary school

      • Strategies for helping children to develop understanding, skills and enjoyment

      • Attention to school and teacher self-evaluation as a means of improving provision for children’s learning.

      Giving the latest information about the rationale for and use of inquiry-based, constructivist methodology, and the use of assessment to help learning, the book combines practice and theory, explaining and advocating for particular classroom interactions and activities. This book is essential reading for all primary school teachers and those engaged in studying primary education.

      Great service and item as expected

      2.0 out of 5 stars Damaged front cover

      S.N. · 30 August 2025

      Although the book arrived when expected, the front cover was damaged and bended. Apart from it the other pages looked ok.

      3.0 out of 5 stars Purely theorerical

      R.B.B.a.T.L. · 24 September 2018

      This is a purely theoretical book about the teaching of Science which is not what I had anticipated. If you look up forces, electricity or plants (for example) you will find nothing. It does have useful articles about the importance of talk in Science learning but if you want a more practical volume this is not the one for you.

      1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money

      M.E. · 30 June 2020

      For 25 quid I’m not happy, has a few scuffs/marks which I’m not happy about considering it was so much money. I’m a student and this is a lot of money to spend on a book that hasn’t arrived immaculately.

      2.0 out of 5 stars Generic and boring

      A. · 28 July 2023

      Nah. Bit flat. Could have been written by some boring government official. Not inspiring.
