Offering a systematic introduction to the fundamentals of primary science instruction, this reference offers proven techniques for engaging students both within and outside the classroom. The research-based approach explores the ways teachers can combine their knowledge with children’s innate curiosity about the natural world. Reflecting current research in science education, the theoretical underpinnings and classroom-tested strategies address the fundamental issues in teaching science in primary and early childhood years. The techniques for planning, teaching, research, and assessment cover key issues of science instruction—including scientific literacy, assimilating science and technology, and activities beyond the classroom—making this an excellent resource for teachers.
