Children have an innate curiosity about the natural world that makes teaching science a rewarding experience.
However teaching science is an art that requires a unique combination of knowledge and skills to make the most of students' interest and foster their understanding. With contributions from leading educators, The Art of Teaching Primary Science addresses the fundamental issues in teaching science in primary and early childhood years.
Reflecting current research in science education, The Art of Teaching Primary Science covers the following areas:
* the theoretical underpinnings of science education and curriculum;
* effective science teaching practice planning, teaching strategies, investigations, resources and assessment;
* key issues including scientific literacy, integrating science and technology, and activities outside the classroom.
