Better science: choosing content - curriculum guide 2
Choosing Content was the second in a series of 12 booklets published by Heinemann and the Association for Science Education to explore the issues arising from moving towards a broad and balanced science education for all young people. The main purposes of this booklet were:
• to consider what content is
• to explore how the content of school science might be chosen
• to argue for a reduction in traditional curriculum content
• to suggest major topics for science
• to illustrate aspects of science content through examples
• to consider some of the implications of what we say.
