The teaching of science in primary schools / Wynne Harlen, Anne Qualter. - 6th ed. - New York : Routledge, 2014. - x, 382 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This text provides essential information for all concerned with primary school education about all aspects of teaching science. It pays particular attention to inquiry-based teaching and learning because of the more general educational benefits that follow from using this approach. These benefits are often expressed in terms of developing general scientific literacy and fostering the ability to learn and the motivation to continue learning. This book also aims to help teachers focus on the big or powerful ideas of science rather than teaching a series of unrelated facts. This leads children to an understanding of the nature, and limitations, of scientific activity.
