5.0 out of 5 stars Complete guide to teaching science at primary level., 14 April 2004
This review is from: The Teaching of Science in Primary Schools (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A clearly laid out book, relevant to todays schools, 13 Oct 2001
This review is from: The Teaching of Science in Primary Schools (Paperback)
I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this book to find, not page upon page of tiny text, but a wealth of clearly laid out information concerning everything relevant to todays teaching of science in Primary Schools - the section on ICT surpassed everything I had read so far, focusing on realistic opportunites for ICT involvement. I have to recommend this book as an easy and worthwhile read to anyone who is looking for a book on Science in Primary Schools
