Opis

This practical text provides teachers with essential guidance on how to give children greater access to positive ways to think about the relationship between science and religion. Each chapter explores a key concept, from miracles to evolution, identifying gaps and common misconceptions in children's knowledge, and offering advice on how to answer tricky questions and teach each topic confidently. Drawing upon proven research, as well as successful workshops and after-school clubs, chapters are accompanied by adaptable activities to engage children from both faith and non-faith backgrounds, helping to develop an appreciation of why science and religion do not necessarily conflict.
