Opis

Many primary school teachers feel that they do not have sufficient knowledge or understanding of scientific subjects, simply because they are not science specialists. Aimed at such people, this text goes step-by-step through all the topics of the National Curriculum for science at Key Stages 1 and 2. It provides illustrations and real life examples to demonstrate the ideas being raised. It aims to provide teachers with a firm grasp of all the areas they need to cover with their class, and enable them to tackle KS1 and 2 science confidently.
