Published for the Academia Europaea `The book contains some interesting contributions, some by acknowledged world experts in the field of science education.' European Review `This is certainly a book that I am pleased to have as a resource for pre-service and in-service professional development courses for primary teachers. The style of writing makes all chapters easily accessible.' - Primary Science Review `...an ideal text for anyone wanting a broad introduction to the issues in early years science.' - Educational Research Growing up with Science examines the need to tackle scientific literacy from the beginning of education in the primary school and even in the pre-school period, so that at every stage of education asking questions about life and the physical world are regarded as important - as are the means by which answers to these questions are obtained. Its main aims are: * to examine ways of improving science education for children from the earliest years * to examine ways of improving science education for children from the earliest years * to suggest the changes needed in European pre-school and primary school education. A wide range of issues is covered from basic developmental psychology, through pedagogics with practical examples from current practice, to implementation and evaluation. The contributors' goal is to find a way to inculcate the logical approach to understanding that is characteristic of science, with ideas and examples carefully selected to provide the grasp of important principles. This sound basis will help the child grow into a citizen capable of dealing critically with new propositions encountered throughout life.
