The Teaching of Science in Primary Schools provides essential information for all concerned with primary school education about all aspects of teaching science. It pays particular attention to inquiry-based teaching and learning because of the more general educational benefits that follow from using this approach. These benefits are often expressed in terms of developing general scientific literacy and fostering the ability to learn and the motivation to continue learning. This book also aims to help teachers focus on the ‘big’ or powerful ideas of science rather than teaching a series of unrelated facts. This leads children to an understanding of the nature, and limitations, of scientific activity. This fully expanded and updated edition explores: The compelling reasons for starting science in the primary school. Within-school planning in the context of less prescriptive national requirements. The value of having in mind the ‘big ideas’ of science. The opportunities for children to learn through greater access to the internet and social networking. The expanding sources of materials and guidance now available to teachers on-line. Greater attention to school and teacher self-evaluation as a means of improving provision for children’s learning. The importance for both teachers and learners of reflecting on the process and content of their activities. Other key aspects of teaching, such as:- questioning, the importance of discussion and dialogue, the formative and summative roles of assessment and strategies for helping children to develop understanding, skills, positive attitudes and enjoyment of science, are preserved. So also is the learner-centred approach with an emphasis on children learning to take some responsibility for their activities. This book is essential reading for all primary school teachers and those on primary education courses.

This book provides an exceptional insight into how children learn science, as well as which teaching approaches have been found to be most successful. Drawing on the significant body of research carried out over the past 35 years, the book provides valuable evidence about which tried-and–tested approaches enhance learning and help children actually learn science. The book:• supports you in becoming more effective in teaching primary science• offers a reliable evidential base, founded on significant research findings• helps you make informed choices about which approaches to use in your teaching repertoire• provides support for completing your written assignments Overall the text helps you develop your knowledge and understanding of primary science, as well as how best to plan for teaching this important subject. Insights into how children best learn science, together with practical teaching ideas that have been tested in a systematic way, makes this an essential book for primary teachers in training and an invaluable guide for primary teachers teaching science in Key Stages One and Two. “This book makes a major, evidence-based contribution to teaching science in the primary school. It provides a solid grounding for busy teachers to access and use research findings to enhance their professional development and practice. Each chapter provides comprehensive coverage of a science topic, including: revision of subject knowledge; research findings on children's ideas; learning progression; suggested ways to teach, and research exemplars and lesson outlines. This book is a valuable resource for student teachers and for teachers with many years of experience. It is an indispensable addition to every primary teacher’s bookshelf and every university education department.” Rob Toplis, recently Senior Lecturer in Science Education, Brunel University, UK “This is a great ‘why to…’ and ‘how to…’ book. Michael Allen’s use of progressive understanding underscores both the unfolding stories of primary science alongside children’s developing grasp of the key ideas involved. His work is based on a wealth of research that provides the basis for the ‘why to…’ in curriculum organisation and planning. This is then brought to bear on considerable professional experience and classroom practice to provide the ‘how to…’ for teachers, covering a range of important topics in primary science. An excellent compendium of rationales and resources.” Mike Watts, Professor of Education, Brunel University, UK

Kitemarked by the TTA `It will be a welcome companion to the many activity-related primary science programmes which have been published in the last ten years in England. It will fill a gap for teachers of primary science world wide too, as its examples are most generally available, and, though it complements The National Curriculum, it is not tied uniquely to it, either in the language it uses or the topics it includes′ - International Science Journal `The author has written a fine book which is a bold attempt to offer information and guidance to those teachers who declare a lack of confidence in their background knowledge of science′ - Primary Science Review `A publication such as this was long overdue and will be warmly welcomed by many. Highly recommended for schools and primary student teachers′ - Child Education Based on the requirements of The National Curriculum but not confined to them, the book sets out the facts, develops the concepts and explains the theories needed to understand the observations and investigations which children at primary level are likely to undertake. The aim has been to meet the needs of all primary teachers and their pupils, including those working towards the Attainment Targets at levels 4 and 5, as set out in the Statutory Orders issued in January 1995. This has meant a fundamental rethink of the way in which many science topics are approached and developed, in order to avoid the use of ideas and theories which are too abstract and remote from children′s and teachers′ own experience. Ideas and explanations are supported throughout by practical examples and demonstrations, most of which can be readily adapted for use in the classroom. The text does not assume a great deal of specialized scientific knowledge, but it does assume that readers will be willing to try things out for themselves and think again about experiences which they and their pupils may at present take for granted.
