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.

An amazing insight into the lives of these intelligent and
mysterious creatures, this title helps you learn how elephant
bodies work, from the many uses of their versatile trunks and big
flapping ears, to their 'conveyor-belt' teeth and mighty tusks. It
comes with stunning images by top wildlife photographers, as well
as superb illustrations and detailed cross-sections. Special
picture sequences zoom in closer, to focus on topics such as the
dominance of the bull elephant, and trained elephants that work
with human beings. It is perfect for home and classroom use by 8-
to 12-year-olds, supplementing school studies on life processes in
the natural world. Elephants are the largest and heaviest creatures
on land. You can discover the complex way in which these remarkable
mammals communicate with each other, and examine the differences
between the African and Asian species. There are sections on
elephant senses, temperature control, migration, feeding,
courtship, growing up, prehistoric ancestors, interaction with
humans, conservation and much more. Five special focus spreads
allow you to observe particular aspects of these animals' lives,
such as the birth of a calf and their love of water.
Smelly rubbish, rotting food and piles of poo are disgusting! But

Explore the science behind the theory of evolution and the history
of its conception through factual and fascinating infographics.
A fascinating pop-up journey into the hidden world of insects,
spiders, and other creepy-crawlies.
Larger-than-life bugs spring from the pages, peek out from behind
flaps, and hide under tabs, inviting young entomologists to marvel
at the mind-boggling variety of arthropod life. What reader can
resist a chance to look inside a cockroach's body to see how it
works or open a wasps' nest to see what's inside? Useful
information (why does the world need bees?) and scientific trivia
(which beetles are strongest and fastest?) pack every page, while
exquisite art and dramatic pop-ups bring the world of bugs to
teeming life.
The Effective Teaching of Biology aims to identify the special
dimensions of the subject, how it contributes to the curriculum as
a whole and why the teaching of biology differs from the teaching
of other subjects. Current legal and safety requirements are
provided together with practical teaching ideas and sources of
information. The book also covers contemporary issues which are the
subject of extensive debate, such as the changing patterns of
assessment of pupils, the use of living organisms in school and the
nature of learning difficulties which pupils experience.

Known for many years as Barron's "Easy Way Series, " the new
editions of these popular self-teaching titles are now Barron's
"E-Z Series. " Brand-new cover designs reflect all new page
layouts, which feature extensive two-color treatment, a fresh,
modern typeface, and more graphic material than ever-- charts,
graphs, diagrams, instructive line illustrations, and where
appropriate, amusing cartoons. Meanwhile, the quality of the books'
contents remains at least as high as ever. Barron's "E-Z "books are
self-help manuals focused to improve students' grades in a wide
variety of academic and practical subjects. For most subjects, the
level of difficulty ranges between high school and college-101
standards. Although primarily designed as self-teaching manuals,
these books are also preferred by many teachers as classroom
supplements--and for some courses, as main textbooks. "E-Z "books
review their subjects in detail, and feature both short quizzes and
longer tests with answers to help students gauge their learning
progress. Subject heads and key phrases are set in a second color
as an easy reference aid. Topics covered in Barron's "E-Z Biology "
include the cell, bacteria and viruses, fungi, plants,
invertebrates, chordates, Homo Sapiens, heredity, genetics and
biotechnology, evolution, and ecology.
Children need to experience nature, and gardening is a good way to
encourage them to engage with the earth, plants and animals.
Gardening classes, as taught in Steiner-Waldorf schools from Class
6 to Class 10, help children develop many important skills,
including sensory perception and motor skills, as well as an
understanding of ecology and agriculture. How can such a complex
subject be taught well and effectively? In a clear structure --
which includes the history of school gardens, aspects of child
development, and practical help on teaching methods, lesson
planning for different age groups, and maintaining the garden
itself -- Birte Kaufmann offers many useful tips and suggestions
for new or developing gardening teachers.
