Teaching primary science: aerial models
The Teaching Primary Science book Aerial models concerns activities which are likely to arouse interest, excitement, enterprise and competition. The book recognises that whilst these actions can be used as stimuli leading to scientific work, measurement and the acquisition of new knowledge, there can be problems in relation to materials, space for trials and equal involvement of girls and boys, and provides example and ideas for avoiding them.
