Product Description

This book supports trainees on primary initial teacher training courses where a secure knowledge and understanding of science is required for the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). A rigorous test enables trainees to identify their strengths and weaknesses in science and this can be revisited in order to monitor and evaluate progress towards QTS. Trainees are able to direct their studies more usefully and quickly develop confidence in topics they find difficult. This edition is fully up to date with the 2007 QTS Standards.

Review
A very useful book in enabling students to identify their training needs in Primary Science and monitor subsequent progress. --Lecturer, University of Southampton

A reader friendly test which takes some of the worry away from the students who are self-testing their knowledge and understanding in Primary Science. Very helpful in target setting for all Primary trainee teachers. --Head of Partnership, University of Dundee

A very useful publication to enable students to assess their knowledge. Very good diagrams with clear questions. --Lecturer, University of Guildford
