Description

When children begin secondary school, they already have knowledge and ideas about many aspects of the natural world which influence their ability to learn new concepts. This file of support materials is designed especially for teachers of the early years in secondary school to show how these ideas can be used to help children to make sense of their experiences in science lessons. The materials are divided into 24 sections - or "domains" - structured around three themes, life and living processes, materials and their properties and physical processes. Each domain includes: * a science map - Identifying key concepts and the links between them. * learning guides - Giving practical and specific advice on the challenges children face in understanding these concepts: what do they need to know first? What activities will help them to learn? What are the likely pitfalls? All the learning guides are cross-referenced to National Curriculum Programmes of Study and Statements of Attainment. * the teacher's view a confidence building guide to the scientific issues inherent in the domain. Particularly useful in those areas of the subject in which the teacher feels less at home.; A separate paperback, Making Sense of Secondary Science: Research into Children's Ideas comes with the file and is also available on its own. This provides a summary of NEXTarch on children's prior knowledge in each domain and a detailed bibliography for those who want to explore certain aspects further.
