teach science with creative curiosity
value the unpredictable and unplanned
thrive on a multiplicity of creative approaches, viewpoints and conditions
be creative with cross-curricular and ICT opportunities
reflect on their own practice.

For teachers new and old, this book will make teaching and learning science fun by putting creativity and enjoyment firmly back onto the primary agenda.
