This book explores the ways in which science and technology can take place in the early and middle years at school. At the heart of the book are a number of case studies of actual practice drawn from primary schools in action. These studies contribute to a theoretical approach grounded in childrens' learning, and are used in exploring the real problems of planning, management, organization, teaching and learning as classroom practitioners try to implement new curriculum directives. The chapters examine the nature of learning experiences, the practice of teaching, teaching for specific skills, the role of the specialist coordinator, assessment and record keeping, scientific and technological problem solving and working for equal opportunities. The authors draw on their own wide experience in science education and upon their work with teachers in primary classrooms.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is more than a book by two well regarded science educators. The authors, who have extensive experience of working co-operatively with professionals in classrooms, have used the recent insightsof teachers to augment and to illustrate a current view of science and technology education...This book is written in short, digestible chapters which can be dipped into separately to provide a stimulus for thought on a relevant matter or ideas to address a current problem...Bentley and Watts have provided another valuable resource for all primaryschool teachers, especially those responsible for providing leadership in these areas." - Static - School Teaching Association - Tasmania "...it should prove a valuable resourcefor advisors, teacher trainers, managers of science education within a primary or middle school, and the increasing numbers of educators who are studying and researching into science education." - Education
