ICT and primary science

Throughout this book, the authors emphasize that primary science is at its best as a practical, hands-on experience for children.

When ICT is used in an integral way, it can enable practical work to be done at a more sophisticated level, helping children to make sense of their findings.

The book includes several case studies from primary classrooms and each chapter includes practical suggestions for teachers. The wide-ranging topics covered include:databases and spreadsheetsdata loggingcontrol technologyICT, drama and scienceschool visitsplanning for ICT and sciencechoosing and using software.
