Overview

Designed to meet the increasing emphasis being placed upon science as a core element of the school curriculum, this book is aimed at those teaching and training to teach the subject at secondary level. The book's structure reflects the different dimensions to learning science. The first section focuses on the importance of talk in the science classroom, while the second explores the key role of practical work. The third section is concerned with the creative, theoretical aspect of science, and the fourth follows this by considering the communication of ideas and how pupils learn to participate in the discourse of the scientific community. Section 5 emphasises the place of science in the broader context, considering its moral and ethical dimensions and its place in a cultural context. Finally, section 6 explores the complexity of the task faced by science teachers, highlighting the knowledge and skills science teachers must acquire in order to create an environment in which students are motivated to learn science.
