This title is intended to identify the ways in which ICT can be used to enhance secondary science education.

A key new textbook which is part of a new series co-published with The Open University Written to be used in conjunction with its counterpart in the Teaching in the Secondary School series. Between them they address both the theoretical and practical issues in science teaching Examples of good practice are underpinned by reference to research and other literature

What ICT resources - both hardware and software - are available for teachers of scienceHow can they be used to extend and enrich students' learning across the science curriculumHow can teachers incorporate ICT effectively into their lesson and course planning?Why should teachers of science incorporate ICT into their teaching?What developments are likely in the future?Providing clear and practical answers to these and other questions, covering information systems, publishing software, visual aids, calculating, modelling and simulation software, graphing software and measurement software, Teaching Science with ICT is a user-friendly and comprehensive guide to the subjectIt also comes complete with a CD-ROM, enabling the reader to practise ICT applications alongside reading the book.

Teaching Secondary Science: Theory and Practice provides a dynamic approach to preparing preservice science teachers for practice. Divided into two parts - theory and practice - the text allows students to first become confident in the theory of teaching science before showing how this theory can be applied to practice through ideas for implementation, such as sample lesson plans. These examples span a variety of age levels and subject areas, allowing preservice teachers to adapt each exercise to suit their needs when they enter the classroom.Each chapter is supported by pedagogical features, including learning objectives, reflections, scenarios, key terms, questions, research topics and further readings. Written by leading science education researchers from universities across Australia, Teaching Secondary Science is a practical resource that will continue to inspire preservice teachers as they move from study into the classroom. This book includes a single-use twelve-month subscription to Cambridge Dynamic Science.

This title is intended to identify the ways in which ICT can be used to enhance secondary science education.

Motivated by the conviction that ICT should be used as an effective tool, this book shows how it can support teaching and learning in the classroom and in the virtual world of school intranet, websites and learning platforms. Practical tasks and teaching tips demonstrate how imaginative use of technology can promote creative and enthusiastic teaching, as well as enable new approaches to teaching and learning. It includes descriptions of new technologies and systems and how they can be used, as well as guidance on the software, and activities to engage pupils in their own learning.

A Practical Guide to Teaching Science in the Secondary School is designed to support student teachers as they develop their teaching skills and increase their broader knowledge and understanding for teaching science. It offers straightforward advice and inspiration on key topics such as planning, assessment, practical work, the science classroom, and on to the broader aspects of teaching science. This thoroughly updated second edition reflects on new expectations, requirements, and practices in science teaching, with chapters exploring key and contemporary topics such as: ● The nature of science and scientific argument ● The various kinds of thinking emphasised in science and how to exercise them ● How to engage students in learning ● Assessment for and of learning ● Diverse needs and how to meet them ● The use of technology to support teaching and learning ● Learning at a distance. Designed to be used independently or alongside the popular textbook Learning to Teach Science in the Secondary School, this book is packed with revised and updated case studies, examples of pupils’ work, and resources and activities in every chapter. It provides everything trainee and early career teachers need to reflect on and develop their teaching practice, helping them to plan lessons across the subject in a variety of teaching situations.
