Investigations and progression in science

This text helps primary teachers deal with teaching their pupils how to approach scientific investigation.

In part one, the book describes what is meant by scientific investigation and suggests ways in which teachers can help make pupils progressively more skillful and able to work independently.

Part two examines 12 topics central to primary science at three different age levels to show how a theme can be investigated purposefully at different levels of development.

Part three concentrates on whole school planning for progression in science teaching.
