Collins Primary Science

by Linda Howe

Published 2 April 1990
Part of the "Collins Primary Science" series, this assessment book for Year 2 contains a variety of activities linked to the new National Curriculum statements and criteria, and is linked to the pupils' books, containing simple tasks. The series is a topic-based science, covering all the National Curriculum requirements for science at Key Stages 1 and 2. The structure ensures complete coverage of all science attainment targets and programmes of study, yet is flexible enough to suit individual teachers. Other features include: relating science to children's everyday life and experience; developing scientific skills, as well as knowledge and understanding; giving guidance and support for all classroom teachers, particularly non-scientific specialists; providing a flexible and easy-to-use assessment programme; encouraging safe and careful practice in scientific work; and allowing science to be easily integrated into the National Curriculum.
