Whether you are a student science teacher, an NQT, a KS2 co-ordinator or a teacher with some experience, this book is designed to make you a more confident, more knowledgeable and more up-to-date educational professional. Teaching science is hard work, so you cannot work harder but everyone can work smarter, or more effectively. This book aims to help you cope by showing you how to work "smarter" and therefore more effectively. You should learn more about the learning process as it applies to science and your students should be able to do more in the lab, speak more authoritatively about their work and learn more. It explains how a science department is usually organized, including how the students are grouped, how the curriculum is delivered and how to set aims and objectives for the science department as a whole.
