Thinking Through Science 3 Red Pupil's Book: Bk. 3 - Softcover

Reseña del editor

This brand new course for Key Stage 3 Science brings together proven approaches to the development of pupils' thinking skills and the requirements of the National Curriculum for Science. It arises directly from the CASE project and helps pupils to 'think about their thinking' whilst developing their knowledge and understanding of science within the context of the QCA Scheme of Work. The order in which specific skills are introduced is based on many years' research into pupils' cognitive development.

Arises directly from the CASE project and cultivates a thinking skills approach to science.

Highlights issues raised by the Science Strategy.

Uses the latest ideas for effective learning in line with pupils' cognitive development.
