Starting science
4 total works
The Starting Science books reinforce key skills and concepts required by the National curriculum for Science at Key Stage 1. Working with an adult, children using this series will gain first-hand experience of scientific techniques such as observation, exploration, prediction and recording and evaluating evidence. Notes for teachers and parents provide details of the equipment and materials needed for the investigations. Starting Science Book 2 covers Attainment Target 2, Life Processes and Living Things, including: knowing the difference between living and non-living things, recognising signs of life/life processes/conditions necessary for life, naming parts of the body and plants, variation and the classification of living things, living things and their environment or habitat.
