Synopsis
This text provides an environmental "way in" to the science every primary science teacher needs to know under the ITT National Curriculum issued by the Teacher Training Agency. It builds on the knowledge of and involvement in environmental issues possessed by practising and student teachers, whether specialist or non-specialist scientists. The authors believe that, by way of an environmental emphasis, the science underpinning such practice can be acquired by most students, enabling them to build their confidence as effective science teachers, while developing environmental awareness and understanding in primary children.

 

I found this book invaluable when first starting out on my teaching career. It discusses:

Teaching questions which encourage understanding

Teachers questions which encourage learning

The teachers role in developing ideas

Self evaluation.

This is a classic text.
