  This is a practical handbook which shows how the revised Science National Curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2 can be covered and assessed in a manageable amount of curriculum time. It is intended for the use of primary teachers, primary head teachers, primary science co-ordinators and primary science advisers. The book considers the new statutory requirements and provides a sample Science Policy, Programme for Science and Scheme of Work. These can be followed directly or adapted to a school's own needs. The Scheme of Work is based around a series of Units of Work, one for each term. These contain a range of activities (including discussions, demonstrations and practicals), plus one full investigation with guidance on assessment. The activities and assessment are all in line with the simplified content of the revised National Curriculum. The Key Strategies series is designed to help teachers implement National Curriculum subjects in primary school. The books cover: planning for complete coverage within the timetable; guidance on new aspects of the Curriculum; amd suggestions for activities.
