Science Methods
This popular, widely recommended, text helps you audit your knowledge of science and understand what learning you need to pass your course. A rigorous test helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses and can be revisited at key stages in your course as a tool to monitor and evaluate progress. The fourth edition has been updated in line with the new National Curriculum, includes more information on expanding and developing your knowledge of science and is linked to the 2012 Teachers’ Standards.
This book is especially useful for those students starting a primary teacher training course that are not confident in science or lack knowledge of the science areas/material they must know and understand to teach science competently. The structure allows students to write their own action plan and test their subject knowledge at a stage appropriate to them.
