Críticas:

This book is a must have essential for all primary teachers. John has pinpointed exactly why primary science has declined in the years following the end of KS2 Science testing but he also offers up some excellent ideas and practical tips on how to make this core subject manageable alongside an already over crowded curriculum. His ideas about running science alongside the Maths and English curriculum are well thought out and meet Ofsteds demands for a truly integrated curriculum that combines knowledge and skills equally. --Lucy Westley BEd (hons), AST Advanced Skills Teacher -Maths and Assessment

The useful and informative guidance in this book should form a part of the armoury of all teachers who want to ensure they deliver, effective, informative and enjoyable science lessons. It clearly demonstrates not only the delivery of knowledge but also the strategies that can be employed to enable practitioners to make learning enjoyable and relevant to their students regardless of age. --Ian Fergus (BA Hons Primary Education; Professional Qualification for School Inspection (PQSI), Recently retired Headteacher and current Ofsted Inspector

Yes I would recommend it and plan to do so next relevant taught Subject Studies Session What do you think are the main strengths and weaknesses of The Perfect Science Lesson? Strength: This is a nice read, whilst relates directly to current OFSTED and Government Directives. This is an essential read for all training science teachers. Links well to the Maintaining Curiosity Report. Relates nicely to our course structure. Provides a tool kit... What is wrong, what to do about it, where to find it on this book. Ideas to try out, and more suggestions as to how to make that better... Really useful for trainees hungry for suggestions... Nice bit in challenges and lesson ideas/ questioning using solo taxonomy... Focus on progress and importance of marking meaning something, not just for the sake of it.. Nicely emphasised. I like how it relates to metacognition and use of learning conversations a in relation to peer assessment. This book makes good reference to the relevant literature, whilst making it accessible. It also highlights the important of science in society and role models to make it relevant. --Dr Jo Anna Reed Johnson, University of Warwick

Reseña del editor:

John draws on his years of experience as a science learner, teacher and trainer to reveal the habits and mindsets of great science learners and teachers - and shows how these mindsets and habits can be taught. He gives clear guidance (referenced to Ofsted advice on outstanding practice) on engaging starters, success criteria, motivational lesson activities, effective plenaries and powerful feedback which will show that crucial progress over time. This book really will make your lessons go with a bang! For all primary and secondary science teachers. Essential reading whether you are a trainee teacher, newly qualified or more experienced and looking for fresh ideas. The Perfect (Ofsted) Science Lesson shows you how to: hook pupils into learning, deliver consistently engaging lessons, get more from your curriculum time, establish routines and good learning habits, keep motivation and attainment levels high, make your practicals more productive, use feedback effectively, re-invigorate your practice, and deliver consistently outstanding lessons.
