About this title

Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive attempt to address the requirements of the National Curriculum (England and Wales) for Key Stage 1 Science in a coherent way. The book is divided into three chapters, one for each of the attainment targets: Life Processes; Physical Processes; and, Materials and their Properties. Each chapter begins with background information for the teacher, summarizing and explaining key concepts which pupils are expected to acquire. After the background information you will find a chart listing the pupil activities, the resources needed, teaching/safety notes for each of the activities, and answers for the pupil pages. The answers are the writers' own results. Other resources required are listed under Resources needed, and again at the top of each pupil page. The Teaching/safety notes give additional information and highlight areas where particular care is required.The bulk of this book consists of pupil sheets that may be photocopied free of charge by the purchasing institution. The sheets provide a series of exciting investigations to reinforce the concepts in the pupils' minds.

The activities closely adhere to QCA's Scheme of Work for Science and provide a practical, useful way for the teacher to administer the Scheme of Work.
