Essential for all would be primary teachers
This book has been invaluable in aiding my understanding of the concepts and skills needed to teach primary science. I am not a science specialist, but the format is accessible for all levels of expertise.
The sections auditing your science knowledge build into a complete reference guide for information used in primary science. The feedback sections give practical ideas and advice. I particularly liked the summaries at the end of each chapter which will be a good place to start further research if needed.
