Essential Science Stuff!
This is a key book for anyone who is learning to teach (or just wants to learn more about) Science. It contains all of the stuff that you need to know in a Primary Classroom, and as it is an A-Z it allows your to look up the relevant stuff quickly and easily (very handy for those awkward questions that you'll get asked in the classroom that you have no idea of the answer to!). It's got a good layout and some excellent illustrations that really help to show some of the concepts that are much too complicated to explain in words. It's not an exhaustive list, but it contains pretty much anything that you'd need to look up. An essential for every teacher's bookcase (if only to answer those annoying questions!)
