111 When science specialists decide they want to teach, it can be a daunting prospect
having to enter the classroom no matter how much subject knowledge they
already possess. Science: Teaching School Subjects 11–19 puts subject know-
ledge into perspective and shows new teachers and trainee teachers how to make
science accessible and interesting for their students.
The book examines the theory and practice of teaching science and includes:
0111 ■ Science as a school subject
■ Teaching science in the secondary school
■ Reflecting on science learning – the place of educational research
■ Developing science teachers’ professional skills
■ Future developments in school science.
This book offers a guide for the intellectually alive teacher into the nature
of the subject in its entirety and how to think about science when preparing to
teach.
