Many primary school teachers find science a difficult subject to teach. Not only do teachers need to develop their own knowledge of a complex subject, they also need to know how to bring this subject to life in the primary classroom.

Science Fix is here to help!

In this practical book, author Danny Nicholson:

*Guides you through all areas of the primary science curriculum.

*Outlines the subject knowledge you need for each area, enabling you to teach with confidence.

*Includes practical advice for teaching and guidance on how to plan and deliver sequences of engaging science lessons.

*Outlines activities for teaching that promote scientific thinking and help children to work as scientists.

*Identifies common misconceptions, allowing you to anticipate them in planning.

*Asks what working scientifically is and, importantly, what it is not.
