Enriching Early Scientific Learning

Johnston (primary education, Bishop Grosseteste U. College) and Gray (researcher in the development of attitudes towards primary science) show how good science learning can occur through creative activities. They offer 20 stimulating ideas for good practice in science education with an emphasis upon the importance of first hand experience of scientific phenomena, the accessibility of science concepts for all children, the creative and cross-curricular nature of science, and the use of low cost, readily available household materials.
