How Science Works: Teaching and Learning in the Science Classroom

By James D. Williams

How Science Works provides the opportunity for pupils not only to understand the facts of science, but also to develop as critical thinkers and to become creative problem-solvers. James Williams introduces How Science Works (HSW), looking at the background to this approach to the teaching of science and draws on the current curriculum to explore strategies for effectively introducing aspects of HSW into lessons across all the science disciplines. Each chapter includes reflective tasks to use individually or as part of group discussions, research tasks, further reading and associated web links.
