Author Description

Product Description This new edition of Nelson Science provides a practical and activity-based approach to teaching and learning Primary science. Written with an international focus, it is designed for primary pupils from a range of backgrounds to create and sustain a lifelong love of science through hands on learning. This new edition is a refreshed and updated version of the popular course. Fully aligned to UK and International curricula, it offers a straightforward, step-by-step teaching approach in accessible language suitable where English is not the learner's first language. The course takes a hands-on, practical approach to science, using materials readily available in Primary classrooms. The Teacher's Books offer step-by-step teaching notes on setting up, carrying out and evaluating activities, helping to give teachers confidence to pursue an activity-based approach to learning. Learning objectives, key concepts and skill development are listed at the start of each unit, alongside key words for the topic. Science is made accessible for all learners as differentiation support is offered where appropriate to help with mixed ability classes. Answers for Pupil Book and Workbook activities are provided, along with a Teacher's Book and Pupil Book glossary. Hint boxes throughout each unit remind children about how to approach the activities and experiments, and the new Science in Action feature enhances children's understanding of and appreciation for science in everyday life. End of unit checks allow pupils and teachers to assess understanding. Write-in Workbooks for use alongside the Pupil Books provide scaffolded activities and extra material for each unit.
