Synopsis

A practical guide for motivating students in the science classroom. Following the winning formula of 'Getting the Buggers to Behave', this practical guide provides teachers with a range of practical strategies that can be used to motivate pupils of all ages. Christine Farmery explores the four main aspects of science study - investigations, biology, chemistry and physics - and then provides plenty of ideas for getting pupils engaged in their science lessons. She demonstrates how closely science relates to other National Curriculum subjects and makes suggestions for a range of themed events that the whole school can enjoy - from a Victorian washday to hosting a science week! Brimming with useful tips and inspirational advice on every aspect of science teaching, this book will prove essential reading for science teachers everywhere.

Media Reviews
'This book perfectly encapsulates the state of science teacing in schools at the moment - the good and the bad... concentrates on practical strategies and advice relevant to today's national curriculum... a valuable resource... a useful book to dip into for ideas.' School Science Review
'...Getting the Buggers into Science promises more than it delivers, leacing the reaer with a strong sense of never judge a book by its cover - however amusing. A more appropriate title would be getting the young buggers into science, as much of its content is aimed at primary teachers. While it is a worthy summary of many sensible, ideas containing much appropriate advice, it is difficult to see how it will achieve its objective.'--Sanford Lakoff Times Educational Supplement
