The primary SPACE (science processes and concept exploration) project has, since 1968, been working closely with teachers to gather systematic information about children's understanding in the ten science concept areas covered by the British National Curriculum. The SPACE Research Reports present the results of this exciting enquiry into the ideas which children form about scientific concepts and processes. This seventh report is the first to be concerned with aspects of the earth sciences and elucidates children's ideas about the nature of rocks, soil and the structure of the planet. Some tentative association is seen through erosion and transportation processes with weather. The weather section includes forecasting and some of the variables associated with weather.
The SPACE Research Reports present the results of a national enquiry into the ideas which children form about scientific concepts and processes. This tenth report explores children's understanding of forces.
The primary SPACE (science processes and concept exploration) project set out to explore children's understanding of the science subjects covered by the National Curriculum. The reports, grouped according to subject, present the results of the enquiry. They record classroom methods and behaviour, summarize the ways in which the learning process takes place, and outline some of the techniques that might be employed to enhance results.
