Product Description

Review
A very useful text, providing plenty of scope for theory and practice which is incorporated into the access course. The section on scientific understanding provides oppportunities for discussion. The section on children's learning is excellent. --Lecturer - Guildford College

Good general coverage - gives main points and ideas so good for aid-memoire and general reference. Useful for teaching practice. Well laid-out and easy for students to use. --Lecturer - University of Winchester

This is a very valuable and vital book for primary ITE students. The research summary provides useful information to bridge the gap between theory and practice. --Lecturer - University of Cumbria

Product Description
This invaluable guide is designed for all trainees working towards Qualified Teacher Status. Covering essential skills of planning, monitoring and assessment and class management, it relates these specifically to primary science teaching. This new, third edition has been completely revised to reflect the latest QTS Standards, Primary National Strategy and other initiatives. Popular, existing features are joined by new reflective tasks and Moving On sections, helping trainees build on each chapter and apply their understanding to whole-class issues and longer-term scenarios. New material, for example on children s talk and engagement, has been added to bring the text fully up-to-date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maximise your science teaching, 7 Feb 2004
This book has been a fantastic help to me whilst I've been getting to grips with the basics of teaching science. It has lots of helpful advice about key issues like how to plan effectively and what strategies are the best for teaching science. Each chapter has a real classroom 'case study' which helps to bring the theory to life.

The Standards are referenced throughout, which is very reassuring as there are many, many of them! By the end of this book you will feel ready for all the assessment they can chuck at you. So don't get anxious - get prepared!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very thorough, useful resource for all levels of Primary Teachers, 22 Oct 2007
This book has proven to be very useful, interesting and thorough resource for me as a student, so I am certain this will be the same for all teachers at every level, especially NQT's. This is the 3rd, fully revised edition for the new 2007 Standards and includes sections on planning, using ICT, Health & Safety and many others. I would recommend it to anybody who is finding teaching Primary Science lessons challenging to use this as a guide to improve their methods and increase their confidence. It will be a real help to them.
