Primary Science: Knowledge and Understanding - Brossura

Comprehensive, accessible treatment of the main areas covered in the KS1 and KS2 POS for Science, presented at the level necessary to provide background knowledge and understanding for trainee and practising primary teachers. --Lecturer in Primary Science, Southampton University

I am very pleased that the new standards are included as of course these apply to these students. It is particularly useful to have the specific science elements in bullet points at the beginning of each subject area chapter. We frequently have students asking about the level and range of subject knowledge that they should have and these bullet points make it very clear. --Senior Lecturer, Roehampton University

This book adds to the existing course, providing extra opportunities for investigation. The research summaries are particularly useful and would benefit any teacher in training, signposting theory and suggesting further reading. --Lecturer, Guildford College
