Full Description
Just like the first edition this one is all about science enquiries! The authors have created six fantastic new chapters with a fresh focus, which include progression grids, examples and suggested questions.
The chapters in It's Not Fair - or Is It? define five different types of science enquiry carried out in the primary classroom to enable children to learn and consolidate science skills and concepts and to learn about how scientists work to establish scientific knowledge.
This book will help you to broaden the range of science enquiries that your children experience and will assist you in the planning for the learning that will happen.
There are six chapters in this new edition of It's Not Fair - or Is It?. The first is an overview of primary science enquiry and the other five each provide the detail about one enquiry type. Each of these chapters contains:
definitions of and information about that type of enquiry
a science skills progression grid to support planning
examples of how to teach children to answer specific enquiry questions, from age 4 to the end of primary, including possible pupil outcomes and health and safety guidance
a list of other suggested science enquiry questions
This is a book is a fantastic addition for teachers and trainees. Subject leaders will also find this a great resource to develop their science curriculum, pedagogy and understanding of science enquiry.
