This book provides an environmental 'way in' to the science every primary science teacher needs to know under the ITT National Curriculum issued by the Teacher Training Agency. It builds constructively on the knowledge of and involvement in environmental issues possessed by practicing and student teachers, whether specialist or non-specialist scientists. Especially for the latter, science can be a daunting and difficult area of their teaching. The authors believe that, by way of an environmental emphasis, the science underpinning such practice can be acquired by most students, enabling them to build their confidence as effective science teachers, while developing environmental awareness and understanding in primary children.
