This book is a valuable resource for all primary teachers, including trainees.

Book Description
This course book has been written specifically to help trainee primary teachers develop their science subject knowledge. It addresses the subject knowledge requirements for primary science as set out in the Professional Standards for QTS, making clear the links with the pupils' National Curriculum and with the DfES exemplar Scheme of Work for science at Key Stages 1 and 2. Organised around the main areas of scientific knowledge, each chapter includes:

* self-assessment questions to test understanding of important concepts;
* research summaries to provide an insight into children's understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful book for all trainee teachers!, 16 Nov 2002
This book has to be one of the most useful books, which already supported me during my QTS course.

I would recommend it to any trainee teachers, since the book provides you with scientific information at an understandable level and presents common misconceptions, which pupils and adults/teachers may likely to show.

The book provides numerous ideas of teaching ideas, which the teacher can use in the classroom.

My vote: 5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! what a way to improve your knowledge!, 22 Oct 2007
This book was a fantastic find, as I thought i was lacking a little in general Science subject knowledge. This is by far the most thorough and descriptive book that includes everything you need to know about each individual topic and what each Key Stage needs to know. It gives questions to answer whilst reading down the margin, along with a self-assessment at the end of each chapter to check understanding. This book was very useful to me as a student, so I believe this will be the same to any student worrying about having a sufficient knowledge of the Science Curriculum. This is the 3rd edition, fully revised for the new 2007 Standards. WOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete guide to teaching science at primary level., 21 April 2004
Wynne Harlen has done a great job with this book.

It is a comprehensive guide to teaching science in terms of;
teaching and learning styles,
assessment methods,
use of resources and ICT to help childrens' learning,
how best to use practicals (SC1) in science lessons,
helping children to question and think scientifically for themselves,
good cross curricular links.

I am a primary science specialist PGCE student at the moment, and was given a long list of course text books for science and didn't have a clue as to which one to choose.
Take it from me, choose this one, as my copy is well thumbed after only 6 months of my PGCE course.
