ABSTRACT

Providing practical guidance on enhancing learning through ICT in science, this book is made up of a series of projects that supplement, augment and extend the QCA ICT scheme and provide much-needed links with Units in other subjects’ schemes of work. It includes:

  • fact cards that support each project and clearly outline its benefits in relation to teaching and learning
  • examples of how activities work in 'real' classrooms
  • links to research, inspection evidence and background reading to support each project
  • adaptable planning examples and practical ideas provided on accompanying downloadable resources.

This book is essential reading for all trainee and practising primary teachers.
