Questions often focus on aspects that cause confusion for children and adults, so don’t worry if you find them challenging. Sample answers and commentaries are provided so that you can develop your science subject knowledge while thinking about how to support primary-aged children’s learni\ng in science.
Please note: while a range of science topics have been selected to illustrate how children’s learning can be supported, this course does not touch on experimental design, practicals or inquiry-based learning.
