Creative Teaching in Primary Science

This book helps student teachers learn how to adopt a creative approach to teaching primary science by discussing key aspects of science teaching and how creative approaches can be developed and embedded appropriately.

Creative teaching has the potential to inspire deep learning, using inventive activities and stimulating contexts that can capture the imagination of children. This book enables you to adopt a creative approach to the methods and content of your primary science teaching practice and confidently develop as a science educator.

Key aspects of science teaching are discussed, including:

planning for teaching and learning
assessing primary science
cross-curricular approaches
the intelligent application of technology
sustainability education
outdoor learning

Coverage is supported by illustrative examples, encouraging you to look at your own teaching practice, your local community and environment, your own interests and those of your children to deepen your understanding of what constitutes good science teaching in primary schools.

This is essential reading for students on primary initial teacher education courses, on both university-based (BEd, BA with QTS, PGCE) and schools-based (School Direct, SCITT) routes into teaching.
