`This is a useful and interesting resource book for primary teachers and would help to develop their knowledge and teaching of science - I will certainly be using it to inform my planning and teaching of the subject′ - Juliette Green, Primary School Teacher, Environmental Education `This book clearly goes some way to achieving its goal of enabling the effective teaching of science at primary level′ - Primary Science Review `Every teacher, however well trained in science, will have areas of uncertain understanding. This book is a prime resource for primary teachers of readable, accurate and relevant explanations of scientific phenomena, supported by impressively clear drawings. It has been revised to include recent scientific developments such as DNA and environmental issues, and continues to give sound advice about likely misconceptions whilst maintaining its focus on explaining the science for teachers′ - Wynne Harlen, Professor in Education, University of Bristol
