ICT and Primary Science

Front Cover
Taylor & Francis, Jul 17, 2003 - Education - 176 pages

Throughout this book, the authors emphasize that primary science is at its best as a practical, hands-on experience for children. When ICT is used in an integral way, it can enable practical work to be done at a more sophisticated level, helping children to make sense of their findings. The book includes several case studies from primary classrooms and each chapter includes practical suggestions for teachers.

The wide-ranging topics covered include:

  • databases and spreadsheets
  • data logging
  • control technology
  • ICT, drama and science
  • school visits
  • planning for ICT and science
  • choosing and using software.

ICT and Primary Science is an accessible and jargon-free resource for teachers and student teachers of primary science.
