`Professor Harlen has, once again, provided the leading text on primary science. This eminently readable book sets out a clear account of our understanding of learning, teaching and assessment and, through the skilful use of examples, explores the implications of this for science teachers of pupils aged five to 12. By emphasizing the importance of research evidence and the way in which it should underpin practice, this new edition challenges everyone involved in science education to reflect again on whether we are providing the most appropriate learning opportunities for our pupils. It is certainly a book which will be highly recommended, referred to on many occasions and used extensively′ - Dr Derek Bell, Chief Executive, The Association for Science Education This thoroughly revised and completely up-to-date new edition provides an excellent theoretical framework for teaching science that is firmly grounded in classroom practice and covers all stages of education for students aged five to 12 years. The author details a constructivist view of learning, which recognizes that children already have ideas about the world in which they live, and gives advice on how teachers can help children to develop their understanding and change their perception to a more scientific view. A particular feature is the focus on formative assessment as a framework for discussion on how to help students develop their understanding, enquiry skills and positive attitudes to scientific investigation. The wide range of topics covered include: The nature of students′ learning in science The goals of science education Gathering and interpreting information about students′ ′s ideas Helping development of scientific ideas Gathering and interpreting evidence of students′ enquiry skills and attitudes Strategies for helping development of students′ qnquiry skills and attitudes The learner′s role in learning Summarising and reporting learning Motivating learning Teachers and children′s questions Resources for learning science Managing science in the school Each chapter features useful summaries, points for reflection and further reading, making this acclaimed book indispensable reading for all primary and practitioners and students who want a book that will authoritatively inform, inspire and instruct their science teaching.

`The book is a practical work emphasizing the nuts and bolts of how to plan and deliver the curriculum in the classroom, as well as assessing the learning outcomes. It also looks at the pros and cons of the different types of teaching resources. The book is good for curriculum planning for NQT′s and experienced teachers alike′ - Environmental Education `Wynne Harlen is an acknowledged authority in the United Kingdom on science education for children from five-12 years (often referred to as the primary school phase). This book is the product of a lifetime of dedicated work in this area. Its success is indicated by the fact that it is a further edition of a book already accepted by the teaching community as one that addresses some of their immediate and most basic concerns. For those who are familiar with the previous edition it may be helpful for readers to know that this latest one provides an update on thinking about the practice of primary school science, particularly in the light of the considerable developments that have taken place in the last 4 years.... Science educators, in particular, will find this makes a valuable contribution to their professional development, and environmental concerns are not neglected in the process′ - Environmental Education Research Teaching, Learning & Assessing Science 5-12 is a new and totally revised edition of Teaching and Learning Primary Science. The author provides a theoretical rationale for why science should be taught in particular ways, and ideas and examples of how to do it. The opening chapters show how children learn, and discuss the nature of the goals of teaching science to children aged from five to 12 years. It is teachers′ understanding of these things that determines the kind of learning experiences they provide for children. Evidence is given to support a constructivist view: a view of learning which recognizes that children already have ideas about the world around them, formed from their everyday experiences and everyday ways of thinking. The teacher′s role is to help children to build their understanding and change their ideas towards the more scientific view. In science, this means through inquiry, which involves first-hand investigation of materials, the use of books and other resources and discussion. Several chapters describe and illustrate aspects of the teacher′s role in bringing about this learning, including planning and providing learning resources.

Science process skills are the skills that scientists use to study and investigate the world. They are the vehicle for generating content and a means by which concepts are formed. This book is presented in three parts. Part 1 attends to the kinds of science skills appropriate for preschool and the lower elementary grades including observation, classification, communication, measurement, prediction and influence. Part 2 includes the more complex, integrated skills that are needed to plan and conduct controlled scientific investigations. Part 3 provides a guide to teaching scientific facts and concepts through process skills. Each chapter contains objectives, lists of materials, suggested directions and blanks for responses, self-check questions, and extension activities. The activities are designed to allow students to work at their own pace. At the end of each chapter, a mastery test is provided. An appendix lists simple, inexpensive materials that are needed to do the exercises in this book. (CW)

A MUST FOR ANYONE WHO TEACHES WITH THE TOOLS OF SCIENCE: THE SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS! A GREAT SUPPORTING RESOURCE FOR THE TOOLS OF SCIENCE! This book contains tests that help the teacher assess the level to which students have learned about and applied the tools scientists use when doing their investigating and research. Those tools are called the science process skills. They are the foundation upon which good quality science learning is built. It is important students know the science process skills so they can effectively engage in the scientific enterprise. The book is an important companion to the Student Manual and Teacher Manual. Its 148 pages begin with some explanation about the role of testing and assessing student learning and provides some suggestions for hands-on "lab practical" types of assessment to augment the objective-based (knowledge-based) assessment that makes up each of the chapter tests in the book. The questions in each of the chapter tests are derived from the experiences students should have from doing the hands-on/minds-on activities in the Student Manual as well as from information contained in the Teacher Manual which the teacher should have taught with each lesson/activity. Each test bank chapter includes the student version of the chapter test followed by the key, or teacher version, of the test to assist teachers in quickly determining the level of success of students in their learning the science process skills.

The hands-on student performance tasks in this book were developed from Sheryl Mercier and Karen Ostlund efforts to document changes in student learning. Teachers of primary students who use these performance assessments will be able to observe and record information regarding student ability to use science process skills. Repeated use of these performance tasks by a teacher will capture change in a student's science process skill acquisition over time. Our intent was to create assessment tools that would document change in the ability to use the science process skills of inquiry that may be incremental and not easily captured by one administration of a 'paper and pencil' instrument. Finally, the performance task assessments we developed require few changes to the existing science curriculum for a primary teacher or school. That is, we do not want teachers to think that their curriculum must change to address the items on our assessments. Rather, we want teachers using the assessments to decide if the items on our performance tasks caused any changes in student learning.The book contains1.33 developmentally appropriate hand-on performance assessments for the science process skills of inquiry, levels 1,2, and 3.2.Complete instructions and rubrics for assessing the major process skills of inquiry3.Engaging original illustrated student recording sheets for each activity- blackline reproducible masters4.Using hands-on activities, assesses the process skills of: observing, communicating, estimating, measuring, collecting data, classifying, inferring, predicting, making models, interpreting data, making graphs, hypothesizing, defining operationally, controlling variables, and investigating5.Science Investigation templates and award ribbons.
