The Really Useful Book of Secondary Science Experiments (eBook, PDF)

101 Essential Activities to Support Teaching and Learning

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Really Useful Book of Secondary Science Experiments presents 101 exciting, 'real-world' science experiments that can be confidently carried out by any KS3 science teacher in a secondary school classroom.

Step-by-step advice does not assume a scientific background and each experiment is accompanied by a 'subject knowledge guide' filling you in on the key science concepts behind the experiment. There are suggestions for how to adapt each experiment for younger or older children, children with special educational needs and gifted and talent students. Links to the new national curriculum programme of study allows easy connections to be made to relevant learning goals.
