The inclusion of technology in subjects taught to primary school students presents teachers with an exciting and somewhat daunting challenge. "Design and Technology in the Primary School" aims to provide teachers with a definition and exploration of design and technology activities through a project approach. The book includes case studies which illustrate how teachers with little or no previous experience can draw on their existing knowledge of materials, processes, and local authority support, to develop successful projects linking areas of the curriculum with design and technology.
Guidance is also offered on topic planning with design and technology activities either central to the topic being studies, or as a development of a topic from another curriculum area.
This book offers a strong practical approach to embarking on design and technology activities through projects, topic designs, and case studies. It will encourage not only student teachers but their more experienced colleagues in developing existing skills and talents in teaching technology and design through the use of familiar topics.

The topics in this book help pupils understand life processes and living things. They reinforce methods of scientifi c enquiry by requiring pupils to plan and carry out practical activities, consider evidence, and present ideas and conclusions. The sheets focus on life processes common to all living things, humans and other animals, green plants, as well as on how living things relate to their environment. The three books in the Brilliant Support Activities Science series are an ideal way of introducing scientific terms in Welsh. The books are designed to develop the essential skills of observation, predicting, recording and drawing conclusions. The books contain a mixture of paper-based tasks and 'hands on' activities. The reproducible worksheets introduce one concept or statement per sheet (unless they are review sheets), and they can be used in any order. They are designed for use by individual pupils or to be used as a class activity if all the class are working at the same ability range.

Nations around the globe consider physics education an important tool of economic and social development and currently advocate the use of innovative strategies to prepare students for knowledge and skills acquisition. Particularly in the last decade, a series of revisions were made to physics curricula in an attempt to cope with the changing needs and expectations of society. Educational transformation is a major challenge due to educational systems' resistance to change. Updated curriculum content, pedagogical facilities (for example, computers in a school), new teaching and learning strategies and the prejudice against girls in physics classes are all issues that have to be addressed. Educational research provides a way to build schemas and resources to promote changes in physics education. This volume presents physics teaching and learning research connected with the main educational scenarios.

In Professor Povey's Perplexing Problems, Thomas Povey shares 109 of his favourite problems in physics and maths. A tour de force of imagination and exposition, he takes us by the hand and guides us through uncompromisingly challenging territory that expands our minds and encourages a playful and exploratory approach to study. The puzzles, he says, are like toys. We should pick up the one we most enjoy, and play with it. Whether you are an aspiring scientist or an old-hand, pitting yourself against these problems will test your ability to think, and inspire you with curiosity and enthusiasm for physics. Presented with charm and wit, the questions span the gap between high-school and university-entrance standard material. Detailed answers are lightened with a fascinating and refreshing blend of scientific history, application and personal anecdote. On this delightful and idiosyncratic romp through pre-university maths and physics, the author shows us that behind every single one of these questions lies a new way of thinking about subjects we thought we had understood. He argues that engaging with the unfamiliar is key to forming deeper insights and developing intellectual independence. Professor Povey's Perplexing Problems is a manifesto that science should be playful, and a celebration of the curious.

For one revision guide, Oxford Revise for KS3 Science does many things. Each topic is explored following a simple three-step approach of knowledge, retrieval and practice. This approach is based on cognitive science principles and enables pupils to start to lock in their learning into their long-term memory. Key knowledge is comprehensively covered within Knowledge Organisers that are clear and accessible and designed with the cognitive load of the learner always in mind. As students work their way through the guide, they are encouraged to make links between the topics. Sets of retrieval questions follow to check and secure students' knowledge retention. Students can quickly see how well they have understood the topic and the areas that may need more study or support. The last step is for students to put their knowledge into practice with a variety of different practice questions. These range in difficulty giving all students the chance to test themselves and attempt more challenging questions. This guide establishes revision as a vital part of the learning process. The structure supports the development of revision as a positive habit and reduces stress when preparing for exams and assessments throughout their science journey.
